Editorial Review

Guess what! Dora the Explorer has jumped on the royal bandwagon! This intrepid explorer is now a fairy tale princess with magical hair that grows when the jewel in her crown is pressed with a wand. Dora talks and sings, too, in both English and Spanish: "Vamanos! Let's go to fairytale land! Will you brush my hair?" The 14-inch-tall plastic doll is not designed to be cuddled so much as played with and groomed. She is attired in a satiny yellow gown trimmed in pink and purple, and has a brush, barrettes, and magic wand. The magical tresses emerging from the hair-growing tube are quite realistic, although grownups, at least, might be a little unnerved at the sleek brown hair oozing in and out of Dora's head. Still, children are experts at suspending disbelief and accepting weirdness in the world, so they probably won't mind a bit. Four AA batteries required (included). --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter Can't Put Down, October 15, 2004

What a great fun toy. My daughter received this toy for her third birthday. She had already seen Fairytale Adventure Dora and she absolutely loved the doll as soon as she saw it in the box. She is having a great time making the hair grow and putting "pretties" in Dora's hair. It is the first thing she asks for when she gets home from preschool. She answers Dora's questions and dances when Dora sings the catchy little song from the movie. Our daughter has a ton of toys and this is hands down her favorite. I would highly recommend for any little Dora fan.

I read the other reviews and yes my 4 year old daughter also really likes this doll but prepare to do alot of brushing. When her hair is long it gets very messy. The "tips" in the instruction booklet say to keep hair brushed for lasting life of toy. Here's a better tip....keep those elastics in her hair when you buy her. Other than that the toy is made well.
