5.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate for 15 months - 3-1/2 years, December 28, 2009

I own the entire Tag Junior library. Check out my ratings before buying books! (I wish I had researched before buying!)

I can see why the previous reviewers were disappointed, because it does seem pretty basic. However I think the reviewer who judged 1-2-3 Dora to lack substance is missing some key opportunities within this book. It is not just sequential counting 1-10.

The book starts out with Dora asking her little reader, "We're going on a picnic. Can you help me count the fruit for my basket?" Each page features a different fruit (pineapple, bananas, oranges, guavas, limes, mangos, cherries, strawberies, blueberries, and coconuts). While my 3-year-old can easily count in sequence from 1-10, he has not yet had much practice looking at a picture and counting how many of an object are there, which is what this book encourages. Not only that, but for my 15-month-old daughter, it will teach number sequence, build her English vocabulary (fruit names), and both my daughter and sons alike will get a light introduction to Spanish, which I LOVE. We are already bilingual (English and Arabic), so introducing the #2 language in the USA will help them.

I rate this book 5 stars since a large age range will actually benefit from this book, as advertised.

Very few pages and very little content overall compared to other Tag Jr books. No story, just counting 1 to 10.

3.0 out of 5 stars I love Leapfrog put a Bilingual product out; Dora's always cute but i have to admit it does fall a little short, December 11, 2009

This review is from: LeapFrog Tag Junior Book: 1-2-3 Dora (Toy)

I saw the previous review only gave this book 2 stars but decided to order it anyway because my family is bilingual and that is something i want to pass on to my little girl. It is a short book and does not follow a story line. I would still buy it again solely because it does contain spanish words and phrases; however, I was a bit disappointed because it calls banana the same in English and Spanish. I grew up knowing bananas were called "platanos" in spanish. I have friends from different parts of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador even from Puerto Rico and we all know bananas as platanos in spanish so I'm wondering where leapfrog got there spanish from. I hope leapfrog makes more bilingual story books, but I hope they put a little more effort into it.
