My grandson has really enjoyed this software. It is very helpful in his learning process. He recognizes the characters and that is fun for him as well.
didn't realize I needed the LeapPad for this - Review written on November 17, 2006

Being new to this toy, I didn't realize that I ordered only the software. I ordered 2 types of My First LeapPad Software but no LeapPad to play it on. I live in the caribbean, so I couldn't just go into a store and buy it. Whatever I ordered and didn't order that time was it, for the next 6 months---until my next visit to the continent. Amazon should advertise for those who don't know while ordering for grandchildren or other children, or even into a new age group like myself, that you need the LeapPad for this. Needless to say, it stayed in its package for a very long time without use.

My daughter is only 2 & 1/2, but she has figured most of this out. She loves Dora and now she has an interactive Dora. The quality of the activites amazes me. The best feature is the music. The music is so good that my daughter prefers to dance then play the games when you hit the butterfly game features.

We bought this because our daughter loved playing with her uncle's when she went to visit him. She was ecstatic when she saw she had one too! she has a few other leap books, but she enjoys this one alot. it sings dora songs, teaches counting and abc's and other important things children should start learning about when they are 3. i would recommend this even if your child is not an avid dora fan.

This book is great. It's Dora so of course, it's a shoo-in. My daughter got this along w/her Leap Pad for her 3rd birthday. This book is her favorite. If you like Dora, get this book!

This is one of my daughter's favorite My First Leappad books. The story is fairly simple. Dora and Boots find a lost baby blue bird and precede to return it to its mother. My daughter really enjoys the story, though. The book is very colorful and there are a lot of activities that would interest a toddler, especially music from the show. If you're only going to get a few of the My First Leappad books, I would put this one at the top of your list, especially if you're child likes Dora The Explorer.

Dora is a hit in my household. If your child enjoys Dora, you won't be disappointed in this fun little book. This book teaches lots of vocabulary both English and Spanish. It's a fun book for little kids. My younger brother loved this book a lot; I hope you will like it to.

Big hit for our 3 1/2 yr. old - Review written on December 13, 2004

First and foremost, I must say kudos to AMAZON.com. As another review stated, it was difficult to find books for My Fist LeapPad. But I have been able to find MANY different selections here at Amazon, and of course, much cheaper than anywhere else. My daughter Loved Dora so much that we have bought her two others and are waiting for Christmas. We have a big trip scheduled, and will surely buy a few more for on the plane. They definitely keep their attention longer than most other toys, and they are educational! Thanks Amazon.
Brings Together the best of both LeapFrog and Dora - Review written on December 11, 2004

Dora the Explorer is a big hit my four-year old, who is somewhat of a tomboy. We have a Dora backpack, a Dora tricycle, and several other Dora-themed products. As my daughter also loves her My First LeapPad, my wife and I thought this book would make a nice present when she started junior kindergarten.
She loved it! The activities are fun and well paced, and there are several of them. Compared to other My First LeapPad Books, this one really held her attention. My wife and I were also pleased to see noticeable improvement of our daughter's reasoning skills as she explored this game. It is definitely among my daughter's top three favorite books in this series.

My Daughter's Favorite LeapPad Book - Review written on July 06, 2004

We have several LeapPad books but this one gets the most use. The games are simple enough that my daughter, age 2, can play with very little help. It keeps her attention. I noticed recently she had picked up several Spanish words and can count to 10 in Spanish. Our Dora selections, including this one, have paid off.

This book is great as are most of the LeapPad products. My son loves to use this book daily. It helps him learn words in both spanish and english, and he already knows quite a few words in spanish and he is 2-1/2 years old. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something that their child will use for hours and all of the leapPad Books are as educational as this one. A great Product.

This was purchased for my daughter last year when she was three for christmas, it is now a year later and she still loves it. I love the leap pad systems and my first leap was great and now i think she will be going into the regular leap pad and like my others will enjoy hours of fun. You will not go wrong with dora!!

Fun AND educational - Review written on February 07, 2003

Dora is a hit in our household, so this leap-book was only fitting for us to purchase. If your child enjoys Dora, you won't be disappointed in this fun little book. I was really pleasantly surprised by the educational content, and all the fun it provides, it is packed with a bunch of interactive little games that keep even a 2 year old interested. My 2 & 4 year olds both love this book. My four year old was jealous that he didn't have THIS book for HIS leap pad (he has bigger leap pad). This book teaches vocabulary both English and Spanish, problem solving, cooperation, and shapes and colors as well. My only wish is that they had more books to buy.
Dora - Let's Go - Review written on January 31, 2003

My almost three year old daughter received the My First Leap Pad for Christmas. "Santa" also brought the Dora game. She loves it! Besides being an avid fan of the show on TV, she has played this game A LOT! It's great for road trips as her older brothers punch away at their Game Boys. She feels very grown up. The pages are now easy for her to navigate. She initially was too impatient to listen to the directions and would immediately being to press buttons. This has gotten better! Some of the pages are bent but with all the use she's getting out of the book it's worth it.

My 3yr old girls LOVE this product! This is something they actually play together! And that doesn't happen unless they are being mischievous. Even my son who is 6 also plays the games and likes it. It has the real voices from the show and all the familiar characters they know. It teaches simple spanish words that my girls love repeating through out their busy day. I would recommend this to any Dora fan.

My daughter is about to turn 6 and she just loves her leap pad and all the books to it. It has taught her how to count in spanish,and use some words as well. She has also learned her abc's with the wonderful leap pad system. Thank you so much for your concerns for our children's education. She sits for hours and plays with her leap pad and asks questions

My 3 year old son just got My First Leap Pad for Christmas and hasn't put it down yet! I just got the Dora book for it and he instantly figured out that you have to put the cartridge in before you can play it. He has a bit of trouble popping the book into place on the leap pad, but he's only 3 and his coordination isn't perfect yet. This is a wonderful learning tool not only for teaching how to follow directions but also a few spanish words, always helpful, and mostly some good interaction with his TV pal Dora.

My 3 year old loves Dora The Explorer and this cartridge is his favorite. He is very active, but he will sit and play with this toy for 20-30 minutes at a time. A great investment.

If your child is familar with the show Dora the Explorer he will love this game. It stays true to the same story line that the shows have; Map, Packpack, and of course Swipper the Fox! The games that it offers teach colors, shapes, recognition, music, memory games, and more. It is a lot of fun!
