Dora’s Ballet Adventure

Dora’s dance class is getting ready for a special dance recital and her whole family’s there to watch her perform.  They just need to wait for the Delivery Truck to deliver their ballet slippers.  But the Delivery Duck brings scuba flippers instead of ballet slippers!  Dora and Boots must get the slippers before the recital begins.

MY THOUGHTS

I think Dora the Explorer is a great program for kids!  Not only does she teach academic things, but she also teaches basic Spanish words through songs and games.  I look forward to the next Dora the Explorer DVD that Nickelodeon comes out with.  A special thanks to Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Entertainment for this DVD review opportunity!
