LeapFrog Little Leaps' Dora the Explorer: Discovering Words and Language

I bought this for my 2 yrs old son. He just loves Dora and Boots. It teaches languages spanish and english and also it teaches numbers and decision making. Kids are part of the story, teaching them about choices. A Great and cute game to have for a boy or girl.

Once my son got the hang of the joystick with the "Leap Frog" toddler video I was eager to move on to some familiar faces thinking he would really get into the interactive play. But Dora (or as I described in my review title, Bora) was disappointing. My son wandered off to do other things until he heard it was time to push a button or move the joystick. There is a storyline like like the television show but it is sooooo slow with little interaction.

I gave this 1 star for fun because as I said, both my son (2 yrs old) and I found this to be boring.

I gave it 3 stars for educational value because I don't feel that my son really learned much from it. He already knows his numbers and knows animal names. What I was hoping for most from Dora was more Spanish as I am trying to ease my son into learning the language but there were only a few words. It was mostly numbers in Spanish...which I already know and can teach him myself.

I gave it 1 star for durability because, well...it is a dvd. My son could easily break that if he got his hands on it. Sure it is in a case but has that ever stopped a toddler before?

I say if you want to get a toddler Little Leaps dvd to start with the LeapFrog one called "Leap Ahead".

I purchased Dora and the Thomas Little Leaps dvds at an incredible price. Hopefully Thomas will be better. But I am glad I didn't pay full price!

I purchased the toy/game for my little granddaughter a couple of years ago, but she didn't really like it until now. So when I needed new games for it, they were very hard to find. Fortunately Amazon had them and this Dora one is perfect because she loves Dora. I worried that they were a little young for her, but it may be that they are perfect for her age. She is four and loves it.
