Review:
This particular Dora book is one of my daughter’s favourites. The story involves the reader by using questions for them to answer, such as riddles or spotting items on a page. It includes many Dora characters such as Map, Boots, the Grumpy Old Troll and Swiper. I can understand why Dora fans love these books, but I find them frustrating as they are similar to the TV programme. Apart from answering the questions in the book there is no real theme or values explored. The book uses some Spanish phrases, however it would be helpful if the pronunciation was included. These books are more for entertainment than for educational purposes.
2.5/5
