My son loves this!Monday, February 21, 2005
My 22 month old son is totally head-over-heels with Dora, and he also loves enjoys counting activities. We just got this book yesterday, and he's already had us read it over and over. The numbers are very easy to find on the page, and the pictures are very cute and simple.
We aren't using the Spanish part of the book yet. Tico the squirrel (who, as all good Dora fans know, only speaks Spanish) presents the Spanish word in the corner of each page. My son always points to Tico, but the picture is done in a very non-distracting way.
Good, my kids love it, but mom likes......Wednesday, July 28, 2004
"Where is Boots" & "Dora's backpack" are better. This is a good book, just not as good as the others. The pineapple is green and the guavas are hard to see as they blend with the scenery in the pic. My 2 and 3 (soon to be 3 and 4) year old love it though!!!

Good basic counting bookMonday, November 24, 2003
If your child likes Dora, this is a good book to have in the library. It is a board book, so it holds up well to wear. When my daughter likes a book she tens to read it over and over, so durability is important. I like the fact that she counts fruit, but some of the fruits are a little obscure for my daughter to remember- I've never seen a guava so I can't imagine how she will make the connection. I like having the numbers written in Spanish, and the phonetic pronunciation guide is helpful as well.
This is also good if you own any of the videos, because Dora counts a lot, and the repetion of the numbers is helpful.

Very pleasingWednesday, September 17, 2003
This is one of my two year old's favorite board books. The colors are wonderfully bright, and the pronunciation hints help me read the Spanish to her correctly.

Kids Like DoraSaturday, November 30, 2002
This book is fine for kids who like the "Dora the Explorer" TV program. However, there are two counting books that are superior: "One, Two, Three: This Book's for Me" by Dr. Seuss and "One, Two, Three: This Book's for Me" by Stuart Samuel.
