Dora & Diego: Rainforest Rescues
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In DORA & DIEGO: RAINFOREST RESCUES, the famous Explorer is visited by her cousin, Diego, who is an animal rescuer. Between picnics, soccer and fun games, they are always ready to help when an animal is in trouble. Alongside Mochila, Map, Rescue Pack, and, of course, Boots, the duo shows that teamwork and a dash of creativity can save any problem.
Is It Any Good?
A sweet introduction to the biodiversity of the world, the special celebrates the unique traits of different animal species with as much passion as the protagonists' Latino heritage. Little ones will enjoy seeing a basilisk lizard run on water and a burrowing owl digging in Dora & Diego Rainforest Rescues. There's plenty of adventure to keep them engaged, along with interactive moments to capture their attention. This special is a must for kids who enjoy animals and the outdoors.
