It’s Dora The Explorer Month!
It started innocently enough, as most obsessions do. My mother-in-law bought my twin daughter, Audrey, a Dora the Explorer hat at the beginning of winter. Neither one of my twins had ever watched Dora’s show before, but my daughter took an instant liking to the hat.
During the ice storm in December when we lost our power (and heat) for 2 days, Audrey wore her hat non-stop. It gave her warmth and a sense of safety during this stressful time. Even when the power was restored, she refused to take it off except for sleeping and bathing. For three months, she wore her Dora hat inside and outside, it didn’t matter.
Finally, in March I thought maybe the twins would like to watch Dora’s show. Well, all it took was for them to watch one show to be completely hooked on Dora. And, to my wonderful surprise Dora has younger twin siblings!
So, in honor of the enjoyment that Dora gives my twins (and the comfort she provided during our power outage), this month is Dora the Explorer month at Double Up Books. You’ll find below just some of the books that we carry that feature Dora and her twins.
Oh, and before I forget, I thought you’d like to see a picture of Audrey’s dora hat!
