Big Sister Dora!

We bought this for my middle child who loves Dora, after our 3rd child was born. It was a gift from the baby to his new big sister. She loves it!!

My 2 1/2 yr old really loves this book and is excited about becoming a big sister. She wants to read Dora every night...

My granddaughter Joey loves her new book and reads it with us every day. She is looking forward to her own sib any day now.

My daughter is a big Dora fan, so when we had a second child, this book was very helpful in getting her excited about being a big sister.

"Hola! I'm Dora and this is Boots. Today I have really exciting news. Someone new is going to join my family! It's someone who sleeps in a cradle, drinks from a bottle, wears diapers, and likes to be rocked to sleep. Can you guess who it is?" --from the book Big Sister Dora! is an adaptation of the teleplay which features Dora antipating the birth of a sibling. In this fast-paced story, Dora and Boots need to make their way home in time for the arrival of the baby. With the help of their friend Map, Dora and Boots travel through Spooky Forest and Nut Farm in order to get home. Along the way, Dora meets Isa the iguana (who will teach the baby about flowers, plants and butteflies) and Benny the bull (who'll give piggyback rides to the baby). Nut Farm is a long way off, but Benny offers to take Dora and Boots in his go-cart. However, Dora and Boots must help Benny put on the four tires--and they count to four in Spanish. Once they make it to Nut Farm, Dora and Boots see Tico and his cousins. She exclaims "Mi mami va tener un bebe!" (my mother is having a baby). Dora then makes her way home, where family members are joyously gathered--and the baby has already arrived! What Dora doesn't realize is that there's an even bigger surprise waiting than the birth of *one* baby... This is a great book that celebrates the birth of a sibling into the family. As a story, however, there's a whole lot of information crammed in, including complex sentences in Spanish (rather than several Spanish words scattered throughout). Athough it has a hurried pace, it's a good story that can help ease a child into the understanding that a new sibling will arrive into the family (should that be the case in *your* family). My son is enthralled with babies, so he really enjoys Big Sister Dora!.
