A Mom's Balancing Act: Dora the Explorer: Dora's Big Party Pack 3 ...

Kaelyn and Kaden don't watch a lot of television, but when they do...one of their favorite shows is Dora the Explorer. Both of them will sit through an entire episode completely glued. We have a few DVDs, and if it's a family movie night...a Dora adventure is almost always on the list! Between Dora's fun adventures and interactive storylines, it's a show that our whole family really enjoys watching. Each time we watch it, Kaelyn learns something new...like Spanish words and phrases which I think is so neat!

With such big Dora the Explorer fans in our household, I was excited to learn that we were going to have the opportunity to review Dora the Explorer: Dora's Big Party Pack - released on July 12, 2011.

Prepare to laugh and celebrate with the release of the new 3-DVD box set Dora the Explorer: Dora's Big Party Pack! A non-stop party with a pinatas, surprises and more, these DVDs are sure to entertain Dora fans of all ages.
