It is an educational show that helps the viewers learn how to speak even simple Spanish words since the lead character speaks both English and Spanish.

Shows like this are the ones that young people should watch instead of those that showcase war and cruelty. Parents should support shows like this for their children, not just fun and entertainment but for educational as well.
Like any other cartoon show, Dora the Explorer features a lot of characters, not leaving Dora alone in her adventures. One of these characters is Boots, the little girl's best friend who is always with her on every adventure that she's into. He is a talking monkey who got his name from the red boots that he wears all the time.
In each episode, Swiper, a tricky masked fox tries to take an item from Dora or Boots. Dora and her friends should recover the stolen item for the successful completion of the day's quest. The recovery of the stolen item is sometimes the quest in itself so they really have to get the item back to finish the quest.
There's one way that the best friends can prevent the evil fox from stealing something from them, which is to repeat the phrase 'Swiper, No Swiping!' three times. If they fail to do so Swiper will succeed in stealing an item from them and tell them that they are late while throwing the item far away.
Other characters include Dora's parents whom she calls Papi and Mami and her grandmother. There is also Dora's cousin Diego who rescues animals that are at risk and who also accompany her during her quests. Bilingual animals and some talking items complete the list of characters of the show.
Dora would often encourage the viewers to participate in her quest, sometimes by asking them if they have seen the evil fox or ask them to count along with her. This is what makes the show really great for children, not just about speaking Spanish is learned but it also allows the little ones to know some fundamentals of mathematics like counting and be familiar with the various kinds of music.
In 2000, the Dora the Explorer became a regular show on Nickelodeon and is still being produced there at the present. The show is aired around the world and has been translated to a lot of languages already including Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Dutch and many others. The Dora mania is really spreading all over the globe today so you better check it out now, don't be left behind!

Nickelodeon Hotels
Nickelodeon and Marriott to Open Themed Hotels
Nickelodeon has joined forces with hotel group Marriott to create 20 themed hotels. By Tara Conlan.
Nickelodeon has joined forces with hotel group Marriott to create 20 themed hotels carrying the Viacom children's channel's brand.
In what is believed to be a first for children's television, the Nickelodeon branded hotels will be built in 20 destinations around the world, including the UK, the Caribbean, Australia and the Middle East.
The first is expected to be built in San Diego, America and will open before 2010.
The hotels, called Nickelodeon Resorts by Marriott, will be branded on the outside and will cater for families with features including children's activity areas.
A special feature of each resort will be state-of-the-art pools and water features, plus live entertainment programs featuring popular costumed Nickelodeon characters like Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants.
There will be a fully-equipped theater stage called Studio Nick, which will be the center-piece for each resorts' live entertainment productions.
Hotels will also have a NickToons Cafe as well as a Nick Pix photo studio and Nick.com Cyberzone, where kids and families can safely surf Nick.com and Nickjr.com content online.
The project is backed by Miller Global Properties, which will initially provide $300m (152m) of development equity capital in exchange for rights to develop the resorts in some countries.
Nickelodeon, which won the Bafta children's channel of the year in the UK, has 35 pay-TV channels reaching approximately more than 200 million households in 135 countries.
A subsidiary of Viacom, it is expanding into new markets and now claims to be available in more homes worldwide than any other children's channel.
Exclusive Nick content and programming can also be seen via its network of 10 global mobile channels, seven broadband services and 33 websites.
The president of Nickelodeon and MTVN kids and family group, Cyma Zarghami, said: "This partnership with Marriott to bring the Nickelodeon experience to families all over the world comes at the perfect time, as the first generation of kids who grew up with our brand now have come of age and are having families of their own.
"Marriott knows hotels and business and leisure travelers, and no one knows kids and families like Nickelodeon. We know this will be a great combination, and it signals the beginning of a new era for the Nickelodeon brand."
