5.0 out of 5 stars Already a Halloween Favorite, January 21, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

My two year old loves reading this book all through the year. He just loves halloween and loves saying "ooooh..." when he sees a spider or bat, or "Boo" when he sees a ghost. This delightful little lift-the-flap book follows Dora on her quest to find Boot's bag of Halloween candy that has been stolen by Swiper.

As in the show, she needs to consult with the map to find the way. Through the woods with Owls and Bats, into the pumpkin patch where you lift the flaps on the pumpkins to find Halloween treats, to finally the spooky haunted house witha ghost waiting at the door. Once inside, the little ones explore the haunted house by lifting up flaps and searching for the stolen bag of candy.

As delightful as the TV show, kids will just love following Dora on this spooky adventure and encountering all sorts of Halloween creatures along the way. Very enjoyable and already getting worn out in our household.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Treat! Excelente!, September 14, 2004

By	Michelle "michellesays" (U.S.) - See all my reviews

Swiper has done it again! Where did that sneaky fox hide Boots' bag of Halloween candy? This board book of the immensely popular Latina explorer is filled with surprises for young readers. Lift 19 flaps to find a trick or a treat. Match the faces in a pumpkin patch. Guess who are the mystery guests waiting at the Haunted House, including the ghost with the orange tail. One of the better Dora stories. My daughters, ages 4 years 8 months and 2 years 10 months, have never met a Dora book they didn't like. This one is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 year old LOVES the flip pages, December 2, 2008

By	L.Shuman "busy mom" (PA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my daughter who seems to like Dora even though she doesn't watch her on tv. I wanted her to learn a little more about Halloween and not be as scared when trick-or-treaters came to the door. It worked! She really enjoys flipping the pages and they do last the test of time. They have been flipped numerous times a day for about 6 to 8 weeks and they look like new. The story is short and simple, but taught her matching when you have to find candy under the two pumpkins that match.
