Dora's Reign Continues

Today another DVD featuring Dora the Explorer hit store shelves. Dora and the Three Little Pigs contains a new episode, "Dora Saves the Three Little Piggies," along with three additional episodes: "The Mayan Adventure," "Bouncy Boots," " and "The Big Red Chicken's Magic Show." In "Dora Saves the Three Little Piggies," Dora and Boots have to straighten out the chaos that Swiper has caused in Fairytale Land. Kids are sure to enjoy helping Dora and Boots return stolen items to favorite fairy tale characters.

I'm not sure how many Dora DVDs there are, but I know it is more than 40. Dora has been on the air since 2000, and Dora the Explorer is still ranked the number-one-rated preschool series on all of commercial television according to Nickelodeon. Dora the Explorer is also listed as one of my Top 10 Shows for Preschoolers, because of the strong educational content; identifiable characters; and memorable, musical episodes. Pretty much every preschooler I have ever come into contact with knows and loves Dora, and it seems that little boys love the show just as much as girls do.
