Dora the Explorer: Map Adventures

With her cheerful nature, inquiring mind, and colorful fashion sense, Nickelodeon’s adorable bilingual heroine DORA THE EXPLORER has charmed both pre-school-age children and their parents alike. Designed to simulate a computer game, the animated series follows the cute little Latina girl, her monkey pal Boots, and their anthropomorphic cohorts Map and Backpack as they set out on problem-solving adventures that encourage interaction and physical activity while teaching simple concepts such as counting, logic skills, and basic Spanish. This volume includes two fun-filled, educational episodes: in “Lost Map,” Map is mistaken for a stick by a silly bird and is carried to the top of Tallest Mountain; and in “Super Map,” the trio need to get down Tallest Mountain to Dora’s house.
