FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. This emergent reader series is based on the popular Nickelodeon television series. Dora has strong appeal for both girls and boys, and the interaction between text and pictures provides strong support for new readers.
My problem with this title was the use of objects in place of words. Gets confusing for some kids who are also relying on the illustrations to help with reading the story. For example at the part where Dora's mom is making her a sandwhich the object picture is Pb and jelly but the illustration is her mom holding a sandwich. So some kids not familiar to certain words would think the new word introduced to them was sandwhich. Less confusion without adjectives.
