Dora Goes for a Ride

FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Dora, the famous bilingual explorer, is off to visit Diego -- and ride many modes of transportation along the way -- in this breezy padded board book just right for her fans!

The adventurous girl and her pal, Boots, are headed off to the Animal Rescue Center to see Diego. How will they get there? After riding the bumpy bus home, the two catch a ride in Tico's car over the Big Hill. Crocodile Lake is a fun rowboat ride across, followed by a trip over the Icky Sticky Sand from Rojo the fire truck, a ride in Tico's plane, and then through tunnels with Azul the train. Finally, Dora and Boots take a hot-air balloon to the Animal Rescue Shelter, where Diego -- and plenty of welcoming animals -- are waiting for them.

A zippy addition to Nick Jr's Dora the Explorer series, this padded board book is sure to get young readers revved up! The book features familiar artwork and easy text that allows kids to see a new type of transportation on almost every spread, while the occasional Spanish word gets them started on learning another language. Learning is fun and fast-paced when Dora's behind the wheel! Shana Taylor
