Our thoughts:
My four year old son just loves Dora. He’s the type of kid that thrives on repetion & Dora and her gang provide just that. If you’re unfamilar with Dora, she is a young latina who goes on adventueres with her best friend, Boots the monkey. Together they solve riddles, count and even throw a little Spanish into the mix. Something about Dora and her gang of friends totally captivates the little ones. The combination of colors, music and education makes it fun to watch!
