What a cute way to get little ones interested in numbers. As usual, colors and pictures were eye catching.

This is a good book as it help kids to count both in Spanish and English and the Spanish is broken down for proper pronunciation. I would recommend it to any parent. Counting is only up to ten though.

Great Counting Book

My 18 month old daughter loves Dora. I bought this book in a boxed set so she could have some books with Dora. I really like this book because it uses different fruits and it's very colorful. Of course my daughter loves it since it's Dora. We've only had this book for about two weeks and I think I've read and/or listened to my husband read it about fifty times.

Adorable little book for Dora fans

Young fans will love helping Dora count coconuts,

bananas, and pineapples in English and Spanish.

Good Bilingual Counting Book 2005-05-30
My daughter got this and a bunch of other Dora books when she was 22 months -- this one is one of her favorites. Not only is she learning how to count to ten in Spanish (not to mention English) using fruit, but she has picked up some Spanish words for fruit (her favorite type of food) -- now she sometimes asks for cherries and strawberries using their Spanish names. True, she has never seen or eaten a guava, and I don't know why common kid-friendly fruit like apples and grapes are not featured, but it's a book she asks to read over and over, and she has clearly benefitted. Since my knowledge of Spanish is limited to what I learned in middle school ages ago, I found the Spanish pronunciation offered on each page very helpful. Not every Dora book offers this, which would lead me to worry I am teaching her incorrect pronunciation (why bother to learn if you aren't saying it right?). As with every Dora book, the pictures are bright and simple and draw my daughter in.

My son loves this! 2005-02-21
My 22 month old son is totally head-over-heels with Dora, and he also loves enjoys counting activities. We just got this book yesterday, and he's already had us read it over and over. The numbers are very easy to find on the page, and the pictures are very cute and simple.

We aren't using the Spanish part of the book yet. Tico the squirrel (who, as all good Dora fans know, only speaks Spanish) presents the Spanish word in the corner of each page. My son always points to Tico, but the picture is done in a very non-distracting way.

Good, my kids love it, but mom likes...... 2004-07-28
"Where is Boots" & "Dora's backpack" are better. This is a good book, just not as good as the others. The pineapple is green and the guavas are hard to see as they blend with the scenery in the pic. My 2 and 3 (soon to be 3 and 4) year old love it though!!!

Good basic counting book 2003-11-25
If your child likes Dora, this is a good book to have in the library. It is a board book, so it holds up well to wear. When my daughter likes a book she tens to read it over and over, so durability is important. I like the fact that she counts fruit, but some of the fruits are a little obscure for my daughter to remember- I've never seen a guava so I can't imagine how she will make the connection. I like having the numbers written in Spanish, and the phonetic pronunciation guide is helpful as well.

This is also good if you own any of the videos, because Dora counts a lot, and the repetion of the numbers is helpful.
