They set out and with Swipers help get past the volcano, over the prickers and thorns, and find baby fox’s mommy at the fox hole. Swiper even says Thank you!

****Wow over 3 hours of Dora, what a little girls dream! My daughters were mesmerized, even though some of the shows we had already seen on Nick Jr. My daughter really like Journey To The Purple Planet, because we have the video game for PS2.  I was really impressed with Swiper being so nice in the last episode, kind of gave me a different impression of the character now.  

There is also a bonus feature: The game Dora’s Explorer World. This is a very fun game and my daughter said she felt like she was a real explorer.
