Is It Any Good?
Dora the Explorer's target audience should have no trouble getting into DORA'S CHRISTMAS CAROL ADVENTURE. The story, which mimics that of the holiday special, is simple and the interactive puzzles are easy. Even the message -- you should give, not take, on Christmas -- is quite simple. Since this app was created for toddlers and preschoolers: simple is wonderful. Anybody older than four may find the app too babyish, but parents who are looking to sit down with their toddlers for a cute and colorful adventure should be very happy with this well-targeted app. It's got a nice warm spirit to it and just enough interaction to keep little ones interested.
