5.0 out of 5 stars Go Dora!!! -A review of "Dora's Big Book of Stories", March 27, 2006

This review is from: Dora's Big Book of Stories (Dora the Explorer) (Hardcover)

My son (just turned four) loves this big book of Dora stories and what is not to like. The pictures are super colorful and FILL up the page.

There are 7 stories inside, plus a Spanish Word Guide on page 190.

**Chapters**

Dora's Book of Manners
Dora Goes to School
Dora's Fairy-tale Adventure
Dora's Chilly Day
Show Me Your Smile (about a visit to the dentist)
Dora's Pirate Adventure
Big Sister Dora!

NOW for the Downside:
--At least some of the Stories in this book are shorter versions of one's available singly.
--The book is not very sturdy. The copy we borrowed from the Library (which is supposed to be better made that what we can buy) was falling apart: pages slipping out as if not bound well.

Five Stars. Despite it's BIG drawbacks, my son adores this book and so it is a good value for us. Big colorful pictures. Good Read-aloud. If your child is enamored of Dora, this might be a good purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for preschool girl, September 24, 2007

I just gave this book, along with a Dora board game, to my 4-year-old niece. She LOVED it. After opening it, she insisted that I read her 4 of the 7 stories while at her beach-side birthday party! She was much more interested in the stories and their large, colorful illustrations than in the Dora board game that I gave her along with this book. My only complaint is that most of the stories are pretty wordy, and I imagine not all children have the necessary attention span. I'm thrilled with the book, overall, though!

I got this book because I previously bought a box set of Dora stories and my little one was always looking at the books they showed on the back and asking for them, but I could never find another set and this book has most of the ones I was looking for. It even has a spanish guide in the back for the most commonly used words inthe books with a phonetic pronunciation for them. My little guy just loves it!
