Our girls have seen the movie, played the game and read the book about Princessa Dora. Seems like they just can't get enough of this little adventurer.

This is a very cute book. Kids my not remember Dora and Boots. It shows how Dora cares about Boots.

[Skylar Burris]

Here we have another one of those ridiculous, random Dora plots where, in order to become a princess, Dora must find a ring in a fish tank and walk on smiling stars to the half moon and that sort of thing. And all to wake up Sleeping Boots. I know the kids love it; I know Dora teaches simple first/then directions and sequencing of events. I know my kids love them, but the writing is so banal and the plots are so pointless that they make for painful children's literature on the part of a parent. I sometimes wonder if I should read my children such literarily pathetic children's literature, lest I corrupt for ever their critical faculties, but then I think—they should read for love of reading, and learn always to love reading, and so I should read them anything they want—even if it's—God help me—MORE Dora.

This is our October nightly read..
This one is especially cute with nice, glossy pictures. I particularly like how Dora always has to go through a set of steps to reach her goal.

So boring to read to kids. I find that most books based on tv shows are too wordy, and pretty boring to read aloud, and typically don’t hold a kids attention, and this Dora book was a major snooze.
