With her cheerful nature, inquiring mind, and colorful fashion sense, Nickelodeon's adorable bilingual heroine DORA THE EXPLORER has charmed both pre-school-age children and their parents alike. Designed to simulate a computer game, the animated series follows the cute little Latina girl, her monkey pal Boots, and their helpful cohorts Map and Backpack as they set out on problem-solving adventures that encourage interaction and physical activity while teaching simple concepts such as counting, logic skills, and basic Spanish. This two-episode volume introduces Dora's cousin Daisy, who celebrates her 15th birthday--a coming-of-age milestone in Latin culture--in "Daisy, La Quinceañera;" while "The Big Piñata" offers another party-themed adventure.
