About this book
Dora and Boots set off on a simple, friendly adventure by following a trail of footprints and clues. With repetitive, predictable text and picture support, new readers can chime in and help solve the mini-mystery. Along the way, kids practice sequencing, directions, and a few easy Spanish words. It’s a cheerful, confidence-building read for preschoolers and early kindergarteners.
Setting: outdoor paths and forested areas in Dora’s world
