Dora and Boots want to find the surprise at the end of the rainbow. By pulling the tab on each spread, young readers can help Dora and Boots find the surprise -- and other surprises along the way! This description may be from another edition of this product.
THis is a nice storybook for fans of Dora, but it is not a book that my 2 year old daughter wants to read every day. The story is OK, but I think my daughter misses some of the things from the TV show that can not be replicated in a book (such as, Swiper's expressions or comments, the little jingle- tree, bridge, tall mountain) I try to add these touches but it's not the same.Other than that, it is well constructed with hard pages, and the pullouts are easy, but not all that exciting when you slide them open. Before opened, the panels blend into the background, with just a dark shape highlighted. When you slide open the area, the shape correlates with the picture below (circle and Tico's car wheel) Also as a parent, I would like the the shapes on the plastic sleeves to be more basic- if a book is going to touch on shapes, let them all be pretty basic.If your child is a Dora fiend they will probably get some enjoyment from this book, but I think there are better books out there. I gave it 4 stars because it is cute and well constructed.
A Must - Read for Dora Explorers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Dora's Rainbow Surprise is an activity book that is surprisingly sturdy and fun to read. As with the popular TV show, Dora directly involves your child by asking questions, such as "How can we get to Crocodile Lake?" Next your child identifies the shape outlined on a clear plastic window. Then s/he slides out a sturdy cardboard insert to reveal the answer behind it. My preschooler even learned the "crescent" shape, which forms the bridge across the Icky-Sticky Sand. My 2-year-old had some trouble sliding the tabs with her smaller fingers. Yet she insisted on exploring with her older sister. Boots the Monkey, Tico the Squirrel and Benny the Bull make an appearance during this bilingual adventure. The only disappointment was we didn't get a chance to say "Swiper no swiping!"
Fun windows to play with!

I love my Dora's Rainbow book. Every page has a window in it with a sliding page that pulls out to see what is there. (Very sturdy.)
