Editorial Review

Dora the Explorer, everyone’s favorite bilingual adventurer is here to help young children learn a variety of skills and concepts. With the help of Boots, her monkey sidekick, Dora teaches colors, shapes, numbers, animals, spatial skills, and problem solving. This Dora Smartridge is compatible with the V-Tech V-Smile system. In an informal test, we found the Dora games to be both challenging and entertaining for kids, particularly a game where the player must line up shapes in order to cross a bridge and one where they must follow a sequence of numbers in order to find a path across a river. --Charlie Williams

Product Description

Vamanos! Everybody let's go and find out what Tico's wonderful new machine - the Slider-Glider-Rider - can do! Unfortunately, just as he tries to give Dora and Boots and extra special ride, the Rider falls apart! Dora and Boots must discover the parts that will fix Tico's machine, and bring them back so he can fix it. Discovering color, counting and vocabulary skills along the way with Dora and Boots is a rewarding journey children will want to make again, and again! For use with the V.Smile TV Learning System, sold separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall Best V-Smile game!, August 27, 2005

I have been waiting for this game to come out for my daughter as a reward for potty training. My daughter just turned 3 and this game was very easy for her navigate, as the previous poster stated some of other V-Smile games are hard to control. The graphics and characters voices are as if your watching the Cartoon Dora. This game is also very educational with teaching spanish and english colors and numbers. Also they teach animal sounds and recognition of animals (both underwater and farm animals). Today was the first day we had it so I'm sure I'm missing a lot in this review, but this game is by far the best V-Smile game of them all and we have all the V-Smile games (we keep up to date when the new games come out).

This is a great game for the little ones just starting out with v-smile. Dora is very easy to control. Unlike the Lion King game where it's quite hard to jump from object to object, in this game you cannot miss your target. My daughter loves this game!

Just purchased this for my 7 year old son that has cerebral palsey- He only has use of his right hand- this cartridge is perfect- game does not allow mistakes and can play this cartridge with only one hand and not both. Since my son has use of only one hand he has trouble playing the other vsmile games- he's hooked. Is very engaging also where some of the other games fall short.
