The Show
Dora and Boots are having a sleepover and Dora has her teddy bear, but Boots can't find his cuddly dinosaur. They think it was lost at the park, so they have to travel there. However, it's getting late, so they need to find the shortest route. Along the way, they have to help mother animals find their kids, find stars, and of course stop Swiper.
Dora and Boots wake up from their sleepover, but they woke up so early that the sun is still asleep. Red Rooster needs to wake up the sun, but he has a sore throat so it is up to Dora and Boots to help him first with his soar throat, and then getting to the highest hill. ... An episode about being louder... I'm sure the parents will love this.
Oh no... Dora's lost her teddy bear, and it wasn't Swiper. The Map has a suggestion, go to the Lost City, which is where everything that's ever been lost goes. However, as a mythical place, it is not an easy journey and they have to deal with shortcuts, jungles, and more. Fortunately, Woo Hoo, the Hide-and-Seek star can help them.
Dora explains about the wishing star, which is actually Venus, but they don't mention that in the show. While they are wishing on the evening star, a comet comes along and knocks it out of the sky. The astronomy lessons in this show are terrible. Now Dora and Boots have to help the star get back into the sky, otherwise no one will be able to make a wish.
Dora and Boots are baby sitting her baby sister and baby brother. It's nap time and every day at nap time Dora tells the babies a story. She tells them the story of the Super Babies and how they helped the Dream Faerie wake up so she can spread dreams to all the other babies.
Dora and Boots find a big book of nursery rhymes and before they know what to do, a little lamb walks out of the book. Now they have to go into the book and help the lamb get back to Mary's house. Of course, they will encounter a number of nursery rhyme adventures along the way.The Extras
