The stories in "Dora's Ultimate Adventure Collection" are both entertaining and educational. Preschoolers love the characters and the adventures. They love how the characters invite them to participate in the action. They are proud of the fact they have a hand in Dora and Boots accomplishing their goals, whether it's finding Dora's lost teddy bear, reuniting Mary with her little lamb or just going home. They love learning a few Spanish words, which fosters their curiousity about and acceptance of other cultures. They love learning sequencing and logic skills, even though they don't have any idea that is what they are doing.

In addition to the stories, the DVDs in "Dora's Ultimate Adventure Collection" contain special features. A riddle game and a couple flash card games provide interactive fun. There are also two short episodes from Noggin's Oobi for added entertainment.

Perfect for children who can't get enough of Dora the Explorer (and, really, that means almost ALL preschoolers), "Dora's Ultimate Adventure Collection" provides an abundance of self-esteem building, educational entertainment.

This set includes three Dora DVDs. If your kids are Dora fans at all, this is a great way to stock up on Dora. The videos are typical of the TV show-engaging, educational adventures that get little minds involved in the learning process. And when it's over, they'll know a little Spanish too. Great show, great value.

I have to say thank you to the creators of Dora. She is a life saver! This is the only way to get my kid to sit down and be still for at least an hour. Besides being my life saver, Dora is very educational. Not only does my daughter learn her colors, shapes, and numbers, but she also learns Spanish. If you need some time to clean the house up, or just want a little bit of a break from running after the kiddies, and you want them to learn something while they are watching television, buy a few Dora movies.

My 3 year old daughter loves Dora. When the DVD's arrived the other day she was so excited. She watched each DVD a few times. She interacts with the characters. Watching my daughter sing and dance along with Dora puts a smile on my face.

I got this Dora set of DVD's for my 3 year old girl and she loves them all. It is our first experience with Dora as we only have Christian Sky Angel. But Dora is educational and fun. The creators follow a good consistent pattern in each show captivating preschoolers and even mom and dad!

I purchased this collection for my home daycare. The children range in age from 15-36months and they all love these videos. They are very educational...teaching mostly math, colors, and problem solving in this collection. They also encourage the children to move and actively participate. I especially like the variety so they get to see a different episode everyday. Overall I think it was a great buy and well worth the money.

Only one of the DVD's is really entertaining, some repeated episodes included in bonus episodes. Only plays main episode once, then you have to click through the menu to find bonus tracks.

Dora is the all time favorite for my daughter who is now 2. She has started speaking after watching Dora. The collection has many Dora adventures which makes it varied and interesting.

my daughter is just 9 months old and she just loves Dora the Explorer. She enjoys it alot and she actually tries to moves her body when she hears the music!! Great DVD for babies!! Would recommend this product!

THIS SET OF DORA DVD'S WAS WELCOMED WITH GREAT LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING BY OUR 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON--HE HAS WATCHED THESE SO OFTEN HE HAS THEM MEMORIZED. THANKS AGAIN.
