Today is a great day for fans of the Nickelodeon program Dora the Explorer!  Nickelodeon has released a brand new DVD entitled: Dora the Explorer: Dora's Great Roller Skate Adventure!  I know my kids are super excited for the release of this DVD.  My daycare bunch LOVES to watch Dora!  If I need to get them to calm down a bit, I simply pop a Dora the Explorer DVD in and they are all silent!  They love to help Dora solve problems by checking the map and finding a lost toy or finding their way to help a friend.  In Dora's Great Roller Skate Adventure Dora and Boots must stand up to a bully - Big Wheeler, when he closes Skate Park.  I think this episode sends a great message to kids to not bully other children and to stand up for one another.  There are also 2 more great Dora the Explorer episodes include in this DVD: "Check-up Day" and "School Science Fair".  All of the kids really enjoyed this DVD and have asked to watch it numerous times.  I love that the kids learn while watching Dora and Boots.  Make sure to pick up your copy of Dora's Great Roller Skate Adventure today!
