Dora the Explorer. Back Pack Adventure Jewel Case

Editorial Review
Dora and Boots need to return her books to the Library, and they need your help to get there! Along the way, you'll help them solve problems, figure out puzzles and play games with their friends Benny the bull, Isa the iguana, and Tico the squirrel! Watch out for the Grumpy Old Troll and that sneaky fox, Swiper! With Dora, even returning books to the Library becomes an adventure! All this and learn a little Spanish, too!

Great Fun!! (and learning)

2008-10-03
My 3 1/2 year old son loves this game. He is able to be on level 2 already and can do most things on his own. He is learning while he has fun.

A good first game for a child

My daughter is 2 1/2 and we're introducing her to the wonderful world of computers. She loves Dora (What little girl doesn't?), so this seemed like a great way to get her started. Although this game states that it is for children 3 and over, I think that this is a good game for younger children as long as you can help them out. This is basically a collection of very basic games which cover counting, shapes, colours, etc. If your child already has the skills to use a mouse and is well versed in shapes and such, then I agree with some other reviewers that this may be too simplistic, but for a younger child - especially one who loves Dora - this adds just a little bit more interactivity to the "Dora experience" and can help get him/her more comfortable with using a mouse.

Our four year old loves it

Our four year old still plays this game a lot, even though we've had it for several weeks. Some of it seems repetetive to me, but then, kids are quite willing to go over things again and again. this is a good mix of letting her have fun but also learning since its content is quite educational. At age four, she is already becoming computer savvy, in part due to this game.

We have a 4 year old that absoultely loves this games it keeps her busy for hours and she has learned alot playing it. She has already learned to recognize different shapes and is learning her numbers. I would recommend this game for any toddler.

My 4yr old loves this.

She wants to play it almost everyday. :-)

I find it to be suited for her age, its not too simple or boring at all.

Backpacks Aweigh!!

Our two year old LOVES this video game! I like the educational part where she is learning/relearning her shapes, colors, and numbers. I also like the higher levels that use patterns. The game is engaging and keeps my daughter's attention throughout. I strongly reccommend it.

She has her own computer, so we don't have to worry about spy ware or anything like that.

I hope you enjoy it!
