This brightly colored board book is larger than average and quite sturdy. In easy-to-read font, each page contains one or two sentences in English with the Spanish translation below it or on the opposite page. I took two years of Spanish in high school. So although I am not a native speaker, I attempted to read (and mispronounce!) the Spanish to my daughters. Only 12 pages in length, it serves as an introduction to the primary characters (Dora, Mami, Papi, Backpack, Map, Boots the Monkey, Tico the Squirrel, Benny the Bull, Isa the Iguana, and the ever-so-sneaky Swiper the Fox). Dora and Boots do not go on an actual quest. Thus this book may be too basic for the avid Dora explorer. Try one of the more adventurous books, such as Dora's Rainbow Surprise.

This is one of my daughter's favorite books. She's 15 months old and she has just started saying "Dota" every time she sees the book. She really enjoys the large pictures. She doesn't care for the TV show, but she's probably too little for cartoons now. I read this book to her every night before she goes to sleep and she just loves it. Oh, I only read this book to her in Spanish. She has plenty of English books, it's nice to have one that I can read to her in Spanish.

BTW, other Spanish books that I recommend are Boots and Clifford y la hora de dormir

This sturdy board book has lots of colorful pages with Dora and her friends trying to find the matching baby for each animal. There is a little wheel on the right side of the book which your child turns to find the matching baby animal.

My two and a half year old has no problem at all finding each match, turning the wheel and then clapping happily at her discoveries!

It's fun to watch how easily she learns with DORA, not just with this book but all the Dora Board Books usually offer a fun way to educate your child in letters, counting, colors and shapes.

This one is a keeper in our child's library!

I bought this for my grandchild because she tore the first one. She loves it. And if she is happy, I am happy.

This is a fun book for any Dora fan. Has a few animals that my niece (and even me) are not familiar with, but nothing wrong with learning something new! We like the spinner.

Dora helps parent animals find their babies. The wheel is fun to turn. Animals include llamas, porcupines, toucan, dolphins, lizards, and sloths.

Short but fun plaything for kids.

My 2 year-old loves this book. She is able to turn the wheel and pick the correct animal. It's a fun book to learn with also. She is also able to say what each animal is. These are not your typical animals, so it's a good learning opportunity to introduce your child to different types of animals.

Anything to do with Dora is great. All her books are fun and educational in some aspect.
