Ep 1: Dora The Explorer

See you next time!

(Children say “shhh” with Dora.)

We returned the star, crossed Poppy Pond quietly, and stopped Swiper. What was your favorite part? (Pause.) My favorite part was wishing with you!

Swiper runs off. Dora picks up the star. dora the explorer ep 1

¡Hola! I’m Dora! And this is Boots! (Boots the monkey swings in wearing red boots.)

Oh no! It’s Swiper! Say “Swiper, no swiping” with me!

Cut to outside. A small golden star twinkles on the ground near the garden. See you next time

You’re too late! That star is mine!

Dora, Boots, and the audience wish together: “I wish everyone had a friend who helps them.” (Pause

Dora waves as the camera pulls back from her window, showing the star twinkling happily in the night sky. “We did it! We did it! We did it! ¡Lo hicimos! We helped the star get home tonight. With your help, everything’s all right!”

Bridge lowers. Dora and Boots cross. The pond is full of sleepy pink poppy flowers that release sleeping dust when touched.
