I heard today that Dora the Explorer has grown up and changed her image. Some mothers seem to be very upset about this. After reading a little about it I'm kind of glad. Robyn was a baby when Dora came out. She loved that show and from time to time I catch her watching it. Garrett always teases her for watching such a "baby" show. I'm glad that Dora will be growing along with Robyn.
Dora will be focusing on "pro-social themes -- like volunteerism, water conservation, or planting trees to help the environment." This is exactly the type of stuff that interests my 9 year old and I'm thrilled that Dora is not as trashy as the Bratz dolls that are banned from our home.

Where did you find Dora's picture? I'm happy that they are expanding Dora's horizons! I wish they'd change her voice, though. Doesn't it always sound like she's yelling?
ReplyDeleteI don't like. I don't like it one bit. Why can't they just leave Dora alone? Little girls are growing up WAY too fast and I think this is just going to encourage it even more.
