The premise of the episode is that Dora is preparing to celebrate Friendship Day. Only Swiper admits to swiping all the friendship bracelets from France, Tanzania, Russia, and China. Swiper and Dora set off to return the friendship bracelets to their rightful owners.
In France kids will visit the Eiffel Tower and learn how to say Bonjour while using shape clues to return the bracelets. They then journey to Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania before heading to heading to The Winter Palace in Russia and the Great Wall in China.
Along the way kids will learn to say hello in the native language and have to be on the lookout for different thieving animals in each locale.
It’s pretty much what you expect from a typical episode of Dora, with emphasis on shapes, counting, and colors. There are new songs at each country and my daughter is a huge fan of the Friendship Song.
