MY 20 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER LOVES THIS BOOK! SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO LIKE THE DORA CARTOON (EXCEPT THE THEME SONG), BUT I THINK THAT SHE LIKES THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS INTERACTIVE. DORA ASKS QUESTIONS OF THE READER SUCH AS "...DO YOU SEE THE BLUE FISH?" AND I HAVE MY DAUGHTER POINT TO IT IN THE PICTURE BEFORE TURNING THE PAGE. AFTER SHE POINTED TO THE CORRECT FISH ONCE AND MOMMY APPLAUDED, SHE WAS HOOKED! THE GREAT THING FOR ME IS THERE ARE DIFFERENT COLORED FISH IN THE PICTURE, SO THE NEXT TIME THRU I CAN HAVE HER FIND THE ORANGE FISH, ETC. ON THE PAGES THAT DORA ISN'T ASKING THE READER A QUESTION, THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER DETAILS TO TALK ABOUT. THIS BOOK HASN'T REALLY GOTTEN "OLD" TO ME AFTER MANY READINGS, LIKE SOME BOOKS DO. WE JUST KEEP FINDING NEW DETAILS TO TALK ABOUT IN IT!

This book is sturdy and cushy, and it is fun to see Dora in a different setting.. the beach, decked out in a purple swimsuit and all. Many of the pages ask the child to point out objects, and my 16 month old daughter is becoming a pro. This book also incorporates a little bit of spanish. When Dora says "Adios" at the end, my daughter always starts waving. I recommend this book for babies and toddlers.

We got this book for our almost 3 year old prior to our beach vacation. I was surprised by how short it is! In pages and very few words per page!) Some of the Dora books seem to stretch on FOREVER, but this one is completely the opposite. The illustrations are fun, the content is ok. Not quite worth the money contextually, but the book is sturdy and well made for the toddler set.

dora loves going to the beach. and if your child likes going to the beach, then this is a good book. my toddlers love it! they like that they can answer most of the questions that she asks thru out the book.

My 18 month old daughter is in love with Dora! It's on at the babysitters and it has started this whole Dora frenzy in my house with her. Needless to say that my husband and I went out to buy her some books and videos. This book was one of them and she loves it. It's a cute book. It's a change from all of the normal settings you see Dora in.
