Dora's backpack book

I read this book to a kinder bilingual class and they loved it. Dora is with no doubt their favorite. Besides, Dora is helpful in preparing a lesson. I was able to teach geography, science, math, and language arts, all from this book. Not to mention the citizenship lesson in Dora returning her books to the library on time. We also spoke about Dora hiking, which was a good intro for a P.E. class, and the benefits of exercise (health). The children made their own Dora book adventure with them going for an adventure with Dora. It was an enjoyable lesson plan to prepare and to teach, and I know the children enjoyed their learning as well. I also introduced this lesson with a Dora backpack (for myself) to the delight of all of the girls in the classroom. Fantastic book!!!!

Book to Grow Into...

My 19 month old daughter loves Dora and especially backpack. Everyone time Backpack comes on the show or is in one of the books she says her name. When I saw this book at the library I thought I'd give it a shot. Needless to say, I had to buy a copy. The book is a little more advanced than she is right now because there's a lot of interaction; answering the Grumpy Old Troll's quiz and lot's of pointing to things in Backpack, but she loves the story and it's something that she can grown into. I highly recommend this to Dora fans.

Great book

I bought this book for my niece and she enjoys having me read it to her and point out pictures so she learns new words. She is a big Dora fan.

For 5 and up

I personally liked this book. It really lets children interact with the storyline, which is to get Dora safely to the library so she can return her books. Dora asks the reader for help in finding articles in her backpack that will help her accomplish this goal. Overall, this book was a little too advanced for my soon-to-be three year-old cousin. Be sure to buy this book for a child who's older, because it's not a hardcover book (a little one will rip this easily) and it might be a little difficult for a toddler to interact with the story.

A great book

My 2 year old is a big Dora fan and this book is requested at bedtime every night. It is very interactive (there are lots of questions in it like "where is boots?" or "Can you count the books?" ) It is a good inexpensive book for any Dora fan.
