Another Good Dora Adventure - a review of "Dora in the Deep Sea",
This review is from: Dora in the Deep Sea (Dora the Explorer Ready-to-Read) (Paperback)
We like "Dora in the Deep Sea". My children like it because it has a pretty good story and because it is about Dora, Boots and Pirate Piggy. I like it because it is a good read-aloud, has lots to point out and talk about, and because it allows for a different sorts of interactivity depending on age.
In that regards, Amazon suggests this book for the 4 to 8 age range, but I think it is much more versatile than that. For example, for babies you can read the story and talk about what animals are in the picture and what color they are. [There are seagulls, a variety of silly fish, octopuses, sea anemones, eels, crab, starfish, clams, stingrays, turtles, lobsters, whale, squid, frog, snail, fox (Swiper) and sea horses. There are a great many colors to discuss as well.] For older toddlers and preschoolers you can `enhance' the story experience by moving your finger over the text, stopping at the `icons' with the intent of letting them fill in the blanks. My children get excited by this because it gives them the sense that they are beginning to feel apart of the `reading'. And if our experience is any indication, they learn that text flows from left to right and top to bottom. Advanced preschoolers and kindergarteners on up can then begin to use the book for its stated purpose. They can begin to read it themselves. Most words are small: I, am, this, sad, will, the, and help. Although there are harder words for sure: Hooray, swipe, friend, something, clownfish, pirate, and pinch. Four stars. A pretty good story (see previous reviewers fine summary) about the popular characters from the "Dora the Explorer" TV show. It can be used for babies to beginning readers. It engages children in the flow and process of reading, i.e. how it is done.

Pirate Pig Has Lost His Treasure!,
This review is from: Dora in the Deep Sea (Dora the Explorer Ready-to-Read) (Paperback)
Pirate Pig is sad because he lost his treasure. You see, it fell off his boat and into the sea. Dora and Boots volunteer to help Pirate Pig venture down into the sea with the help of a submarine. While underwater, they encounter King Crab ruling over his sand castle, a fish with spots, a starfish, funny clownfish, a green turtle, yellow seahorses and other ocean dwellers.
Dora, Boots, and Pirate Pig must also deal with giant lobsters with snapping claws and (of course) Swiper the fox who is out to get the treasure for himself. Dora and the Deep Blue Sea is a Level 1 Reader that has pictures substituted for some of the words (although the words *are* there in smaller print under the picture). Geared towards ages 4-6, this is a great book for beginning readers. There is also some color recognition, too, so your child can learn to spot how the color "yellow" looks or the color "green". My son really enjoys this book and he's learning how to read with helpful books from the Ready-To-Read series by Simon Spotlight. Unlike other Dora books geared towards older readers, this book contains no Spanish words but rather focuses on word recognition, increased vocabulary, and longer sentences.

This review is from: Dora in the Deep Sea (Dora the Explorer Ready-to-Read) (Paperback)
My son is a huge Dora fan and we love these books. He can read along and eventually reads me the story. This book is short and sweet.
