Dora the Explorer is a favorite of my 4 year old grandson. This software has a 2 part benefit for children. Learning in English and in Spanish. Dora and her adventures provide hours of fun while learning to count, learn colors, matching pairs, and shapes in English and Spanish. Their are 2 learning levels allowing the child to build their way to more challenging games and adventures as they learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game! , December 23, 2007

By	J. Hill "Mom of preschoolers with food intole... (CNY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Dora is one of the best games for the Clickstart...mostly because Dora is such a popular character and she is fun to "play" on the computer. The game is eduational as it teaches shapes and letters.

From the main menu you have the choice to play one of three games. Then you can pick a level (level 1 or level 2). I will speak about level 1 as that is what I am familiar with with my 3yo. The first game the player uses the arrow keys to walk across a bridge and to push shapes into holes. If a star appears, the player can "jump" to collect stars. (not too much education in this game but fun). The second game the player uses the arrow keys to walk along stepping stones over a body of water to collect letters and stars. It teaches arrow navigation and letter recognition. The third game displays a gate where (around 12?) shapes are displayed. The player has to used the mouse to click on the shapes to make pairs. In level 2 the shapes are all flipped so it is more like the game Memory.

It is a fun game and somewhat teaches letters and shapes...moreso computer navigation. But it is very fun and a favorite of my kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun!, December 27, 2007

For any little girl who loves Dora, this is the game! My daughter asks all day when she can play her Dora game. It was definitely worth the $20. That said, I really with LeapFrog would have thought of their customers a little more. I'd buy it again and recommend it BUT 3 games? That's all we get for $20? I can tell that my daughter will probably be bored with this game within a few weeks even with as much as she loves Dora, so I am a little disappointed with that.
