Product Description

Dora and Boots are off to hunt for blueberries and help Benny the Bull with his hot-air balloon. But first they have to solve some problems...and avoid the sneaky Swiper the Fox. 48 Minutes.

Amazon.com

Dora the Explorer is a Nick Jr. cartoon adventure aimed at young preschool children. The setting is a simulated computer game--flush with interactive pauses, colorful animation, repetition, and song--in which Dora and her monkey friend Boots journey through natural settings while solving small dilemmas. Dora is bilingual, speaking primarily English and offering a new Spanish word or phrase every episode. The series teaches children simple concepts and aids in the development of memory and problem-solving skills. In "Sticky Tape," Dora's friend Benny needs some sticky tape in order to mend a hole in his hot-air balloon and prevent it from crashing into Crocodile Lake. Young viewers are charged with helping Dora and Boots find the sticky tape in Dora's backpack, then delivering it across a windy river and over a slippery rock to Benny--all the while preventing Swiper the Fox from swiping the tape. In "Berry Hunt," Dora and Boots's excursion to pick blueberries leads them across the river, through a prickly forest, and into Swiper the Fox's homeland on Blueberry Hill. Their journey is relatively uneventful until they're forced to outsmart Swiper the Fox and a blueberry-loving bear. While parents are likely to find this 48-minute Dora the Explorer pedantic and repetitive, children 2 to 5 years old are fascinated by the show and will actively participate by singing along, shouting answers to Dora's questions, and offering a warning cry whenever Swiper the Fox appears. The series is quite similar to the popular Blue's Clues--in both, viewers help the main character fit together bits of information to solve a puzzle or complete a journey--but Dora the Explorer is aimed at a slightly younger audience. --Tami Horiuchi

Für Kinder ein super Lernspaß

Reviewed in Germany on July 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

Wie jede andere DVD von Dora ist auch diese super-empfehlenswert.

Die Kinder werden zum Mitmachen angeregt und lernen nebenbei auch noch ein bisschen Englisch.

Ich würde es aber erst ab ca. 4 Jahren empfehlen (je nachdem, wie gut das Sprachverständnis uns die Lust am Mitmachen ausgeprägt sind).

Ola!!

Reviewed in Japan on December 2, 2002

Verified Purchase

２歳になる娘はこれまでずーっとBlue's Cluesをみていました。
で、たまには違ったのをと思い前から気になっていたドラちゃんを
見せてみたら。。。大喜び。
「Everybody let's go!!」と歌いながら
ドラちゃんと同じようにリュックを背負って部屋中探検してます。
聞きやすく、何度も同じ単語を繰り返すので
言葉を覚え始めている時期にはいいかも知れません。
時々入るスペイン語も勉強になります。簡単な言葉です。
Blueと同じくらいおすすめです。

６歳の娘もお気に入りです。
　
とてもいいものに出会えたな～と思っています。
こうなると他のシリーズも欲しくなっちゃいます。

Dora - Die superalberne Party

Reviewed in Germany on January 5, 2010

Verified Purchase

War ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für meinen Sohn (5), der seine Dora über alles liebt. Leider ist wohl "dem Weihnachtsmann" ein Fehler unterlaufen: DVD-Hülle war auf deutsch, DVD selber war auf Englisch und noch auf 3 anderen Sprachen (nicht auf deutsch), die mein Sohn leider nicht versteht... Habe das Geld sofort vom Verkäufer über Amazon erstattet bekommen, danke schön! Ansonsten sehr schneller Versand, gut verpackt, trotzdem guter Zustand der Ware, netter Kontakt.

スワイパーもやさしくなるクリスマス

Reviewed in Japan on September 16, 2003

Verified Purchase

Dora は、どれも喜んでみますが、このクリスマスバージョンは、特に好きみたいです。いつも意地悪なスワイパーが、サンタさんへのプレゼントと聞いて、素直に返すところなど、なんだかうれしくなります。また、フェリスナビダー、フェリスナビダーと歌うクリスマスソングもたのしくて、すきです。
