Editorial Review
Dora the Explorer, everyone’s favorite bilingual adventurer is here to help young children learn a variety of skills and concepts. With the help of Boots, her monkey sidekick, Dora teaches colors, shapes, numbers, animals, spatial skills, and problem solving. This Dora Smartridge is compatible with the V-Tech V-Smile system. In an informal test, we found the Dora games to be both challenging and entertaining for kids, particularly a game where the player must line up shapes in order to cross a bridge and one where they must follow a sequence of numbers in order to find a path across a river. --Charlie Williams

From the Manufacturer
Let's help Dora and Boots find the missing parts of the Air-Car-Boat-Mobile for Tico before Swiper the Fox gets them first. To find the parts and fix the mobile, kids will use number patterns, match shapes, identify colors, use logic skills, and match animal tracks. Along the way kids will get items to solve problems from Dora's backpack. To out-smart Swiper and complete the Fix-It challenge, kids must complete 8 games in the Learning Adventure mode. The games range from matching shapes to fix the boat, to using logic to cross bridges & move balls. The Learning Adventure games also enhance spatial skills and hand-eye coordination. Four shorter Learning Zone games focus on colors, counting, animal sounds and directions to keep kids on target with preschool skills. Providing hours of exciting game play, this V.Smile Smartridge works with all V.Smile Learning systems.

Overall Best V-Smile game!
I have been waiting for this game to come out for my daughter as a reward for potty training. My daughter just turned 3 and this game was very easy for her navigate, as the previous poster stated some of other V-Smile games are hard to control. The graphics and characters voices are as if your watching the Cartoon Dora. This game is also very educational with teaching spanish and english colors and numbers. Also they teach animal sounds and recognition of animals (both underwater and farm animals). Today was the first day we had it so I'm sure I'm missing a lot in this review, but this game is by far the best V-Smile game of them all and we have all the V-Smile games (we keep up to date when the new games come out).

Perfect Starter Game!
This is a great game for the little ones just starting out with v-smile. Dora is very easy to control. Unlike the Lion King game where it's quite hard to jump from object to object, in this game you cannot miss your target. My daughter loves this game!

AWESOME-AWESOME
Just purchased this for my 7 year old son that has cerebral palsey- He only has use of his right hand- this cartridge is perfect- game does not allow mistakes and can play this cartridge with only one hand and not both. Since my son has use of only one hand he has trouble playing the other vsmile games- he's hooked. Is very engaging also where some of the other games fall short.
