Publishers Weekly

Dora the Explorer fills her Easter basket with Boots at her side in the egg-shaped board book Dora's Rainbow Egg Hunt by Kirsten Larsen, illus. by Steven Savitsky. The two ask readers to point out the red (rojo) egg from under a flap (there are a few red herrings: a red butterfly and flower may throw some off the trail), yellow (amarillo) and all the other colors of the rainbow-plus a surprise egg at the end. But they must find them before Swiper can swipe them. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

The book is shaped like a large egg and since we are joining Dora on an egg hunt that seems quite appropriate. As with most books in the series about Dora, there is a lesson, or in this case multiple lessons. Young readers will learn the colors of the rainbow as they hunt for the eggs in the same sequence as the rainbow colors. In addition, Dora gives the English and Spanish words for each color. To add some excitement to the hunt, Dora tries to outwit that sneaky fox, Swiper. There are multiple flaps on each page and they are designed to be tricky with a bit of the color showing on each one. At the end Dora and the reader manage to outsmart Swiper and find the prize—a golden egg filled with chocolate. There is also a big rainbow that spans the final spread and a flap that can be lifted to once again name the color. For those looking to teach the colors of the rainbow, this board book is a decent choice. 2006, Simon Spotlight/Simon & Schuster, Ages 2 to 6.
