This is a typical Dora book. Dora and Boots are on an egg hunt and need maps help to figure out where to look for the 12 eggs that were hidden by Dora’s parents.

You need to call out for Map, look out for Swiper and make sure you say, “Swiper no swiping!”, and don’t forget to check backpack for the item you need.

There is lots of matching toys with the egg they came out of. For example you might have a green bear and a blue train, along with a blue egg and a green egg.

There is quite a bit of counting, as Dora and Boots collect eggs.

There is not a whole lot of Spanish in the book. Just a few words and then counting in Spanish from 1-12.

Good news for those of us who do not speak Spanish is that the front of the book has the Spanish words phonetically spelled out.

Nice book, not overly excited about it.

In the book there is Main Street where children can lift-the-flap and see different professions eg. fire fighter, baker, vet.

Next is the supermarket where the children lift-the-flap to discover different coloured foods  eg. red apples, yellow bananas.

The next page has trucks on a construction site. You lift the flap to see things like cherry pickers, backhoes, etc. doing their job.

After that is the park. Children are playing in the park and you lift-the-flap to count things like how many ant under the ant hill, how many cupcakes in the picnic basket, how many birds are hiding in the bush, etc.

Lastly is the  shops on the street. The reader is asked to match the people (in a box on the side) with the store they are shopping in. For example there is a picture of a girl playing a guitar. She was shopping in the music store. So you lift-the-flap at the music store and there she is in the music store!

The flap-lifting helps keep my son’s interest while he is learning numbers, colours, matching, and more.
