Customer Reviews: I dont like this very much. May 19, 2008 S. Vanzant (Orlando) Dora is always a favorite but my daughter doesnt take interest in this. The book appears bright and colorful but inside the pages are dull.
Celebrate Halloween With Dora September 8, 2005 Janet Boyer (Pennsylvania) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Dora's favorite part of Halloween is dressing up in a costume. She's very excited because today is Halloween, and she and her family are having a costume party!
However, Boots can't figure out which costume to wear! He's debating between a clown, a super hero, and a baseball player. Which one will he choose for the costume party?
Dora visits her friends and helps them find items missing from their costumes. For example, Tico wants to be a cowboy...but he's missing his star badge and cowboy hat.
This story encourages children to:
*Locate missing items
*Identify squares, cirles and rectangles
*Learn Spanish words such as una fresa (strawberries) and las uvas (grapes)
*Complete a 3-color pattern
*Count to 5 in Spanish
Dora's Costume Party! is an engaging paper back book following Dora as she interacts with her friends, parents, cousin, grandmother, and baby twin siblings. This is a great non-threatening Halloween book that encourages observation, promotes friendly social interaction, and celebrates the fun of Halloween, especially donning costumes.
My son has asked me to read this book to him every night since we got it, and I'm sure other youngsters will love it, too.
