There are two great Dora adventures included on this video. In the first adventure, Dora and her friend Boots find out that Dora is going to be a big sister. Can Dora and Boots make it to Dora's house in time for the baby (or babies) to be born?

In the second adventure, Dora must make it to the soccer stadium in time to help her cousin's team, who is 1 player short. Can Dora and Boots get to the stadium on time?

This is a great video for young children. My daughter is a big Dora fan, and these videos are just the right length for her to watch and not lose interest. The stories are lots of fun and encourage interacting from the children. Plus, they promote learning by teaching such things as counting, spelling, and learning a bit of Spanish. Purchase this fun Dora video for your child. They'll be sure to enjoy the adventures with Dora and Boots.

Nick Jr. recently showed the "Dora the Explorer: Big Sister Dora" episode on tv. My daughters (ages 11mo. and 23mo.) LOVED it! My oldest especially enjoyed it because she is a huge Dora fan and I think she liked that they were both big sisters. It was a cute video and sure to be a hit with any Dora fan.

We bought this for our three year old right before we had our second baby. She is a HUGE Dora fan anyway, so this was obviously a hit in our house. It is a fun episode! My only complaint is that one of the bonus episodes on this DVD is "A Letter for Swiper" which is also a bonus episode on the Cowgirl Dora DVD, the only other one we own!

My two year old grand-daughter knew she was going to become a "Big Sister" but this Dora DVD really helped her better understand what the news really meant. Per usual, the story was great, good pace, excellent graphics and easy to understand. After watching the video, Emma eagerly anticipated the arrival of little sister Erin even more. We now watch the video at every visit to Grandma's house even though Erin is now 5 months old. We can't wait for a DVD to come out about Dora's new dog!! Hurry up!!!

This DVD is great. "Dora Savs the Game" is my favorite. My name is Daisy, too. Dora is excited to watch her older cousin Daisy play at the big soccer game. Daisy's team is the Yellow Tigres. Daisy is devastated when the referee had to stop the soccer game because the Yellow Tigres don't have enough players. I didn't like that part. When Daisy realizes that Dora is as good a soccer player as she is. So she asks Dora the play in the big soccer game. I didn't play in a soccer game before. Daisy is a great soccer player, but Dora is better because she has a super soccer kick. Playing soccer is a wonderful sport. Crocodiles chase Dora and Boots through the jungle, but they made it out, okay. Along the way, Dora's other cousin, Diego, tags along. But when they get to the bridge, the bridge falls apart. So giant otters help fix the bridge and they hurry to the soccer game. Then Daisy gives Dora her own yellow team shirt to wear in the game. Then Dora scores a goal, using her super soccer kick. That was my favorite part. I also liked it when Boots and her cousins were impressed with her. I love basketball, but soccer is wonderful, too.

"I'm going to be a big sister!" sings Dora! Dora the Explorer becomes a big sister, and she's so excited about it that she wants to tell everyone how much she is looking forward to meeting the baby! As usual, the episode features an expedition with the help of Boots the Monkey, Backpack and the Map.

Dora and Boots rush home after getting the news from Papi that her new baby brother or sister is on the way. Dora and Boots sing songs about being a big sister that emphasize the need to be "really good at caring", and "really good at sharing".

Dora's enthusiasm about becoming a big sister is very encouraging to little Dora fans who are themselves about to become a big sister. We, in fact, bought this DVD for our daughter a few months before our second daughter was due to arrive. It truly helped get her excited about her upcoming role as "big sister". She began singing the songs and proudly telling everyone that she was going to be a big sister "just like Dora".

I was, however, disappointed by the fact that Dora's new brother and sister (yes, Dora's mom has twins) are bottle fed. Mothers who are passionate about breastfeeding and breastfeeding advocacy might not appreciate the bottle-feeding imagines and references in the episode.

The DVD also includes several other episodes that are fun and entertaining, but do not include Dora's new siblings: "Dora Saves the Game", "Job Day" and "A Letter for Swiper."

Like all other Dora movies, my daughter loves this one. My daughter has actually started using spanish in everyday life. This is only due to Dora, as I don't know any spanish. Because Dora makes spanish so much fun, my daughter is always asking me how to say everything in spanish. I might need to take a spanish class just to teach it to my daughter.

My daughter loves this video and is so excited to be a big sister like Dora! Video arrives as promised and promptly.

I got this for my 3-yr-old niece who is a Dora fanatic. She wore out her original copy of the DVD, but she is about to become a big sister, so I thought it was appropriate. This is one of her favorites.

My kids loved it and was helpful because I just had a baby made them think about how they could be helpful
