Ok, I gave this a 3. These types of books drive me crazy and I want to throw them in the trash, but from the kids' perspective, I have to give it some credit. Israel and Marcos LOVE this book. To the point at which we have to hide it to get a break. They love that it features Dora. They love finding the same things over and over again in each picture. They just love it! This is an example of the torture you have to go through sometimes to say that you were a good parent. Happy reading!

Gabriel is loving it less for content and more for the "kissing Dora on the cover" benefit, lol

Tot is obsessed. The look and find game is quite fun, each themed around a possible future profession. A year later, she still loves this book though the game is no longer challenging.
