Swiper swiped all of the friendship bracelets, but it was friendship day and everyone needed to wear their friendship bracelets. Dora and Swiper return all of the friendship bracelets. At the end of the book Dora gives one to you. This book also game with a friendship bracelets.
This is a Dora book based on the tv show. In this book the characters celebrate International friendship day by sharing friendship bracelets. Swiper has swiped the bracelets and they need to return them to France, Tanzania, Russia and China. A nice story with an international flavoring.
Classic merchandizing, poorly executed. The way the story is told is particularly unreadable and hard to understand. As someone who has never seen the show I'm being generous by assuming that the format is based on the show and that if it were familiar, it would make more sense to me, but I could see how the show format might be confusing also if this is any example.
The story was uninteresting, with what seems to be not enough plot to captivate even a preschooler, but like I said, the format seems too confusing for younger readers. The one redeeming factor was the introduction of the concept of different countries, cultures and languages, but even that was presented in a bit of a confusing fashion.
The idea of including a friendship bracelet that matches the ones depicted in the book is a cute one, but I can't imagine any parent wanting to cut up a book in order to give their preschooler a flimsy cardboard bracelet, thereby making sure that neither the bracelet nor the book survive.
We love books in our family, and will keep practically anything, but we got this one as a gift and plan to pass it along.
