In "It's Sharing Day", Dora the Explorer must make her way to her Abuela's house "for a very special lunch". Dora explains that everyone who is invited is to bring a dish. Dora is to bring rice and milk to make arroz con leche. So with the help of her friends, Dora must get milk from a farm and rice from the rice fields, all while avoiding Swiper the Fox!

"It's Sharing Day" is a sweet adaptation of the Dora the Explorer series. The round and colorful designs of the characters will appeal to children and adults alike. I love that the Spanish words are infused with English. I also loved that Abuela invited all of Dora’s friends and that they congregated like a family.

For a class activity, I would organize a "Share Day". Each student would sign up to bring different dishes and we would congregate the way Dora and her friends did in the book.
As another assignment, I would ask each student to bring a special item for a class wide show and tell. I would ask each student to share the history and the importance of the item with the class. ( )
