We are fans of Dora The Explorer here on SpanglishBaby, and have shared Dora’s story with you. Dora gets our little ones excited about being bilingual, and not just our Spanish speaking kids, but she’s definitely proven that kids everywhere, bilingual or not, can relate to her and enjoy learning about a different culture and language. It’s no wonder Dora is the most watched preschool program on TV! This Friday, March 16, Nickelodeon is inviting us to Dora and Boot’sRead More ...

I’m about to age myself, but how many of you remember watching the Strawberry Shortcake cartoons in the 80’s? Well it was those fond memories as a kid that got me all excited about reviewing the new and slightly more modern little redheaded girl that loves strawberries.

Whether the soothing tunes help your little one get to sleep or if it’s music from the children’s Brazilian Playground which gets my bebita bobbing her head fromRead More ...

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to be part of a group of bloggers who got the change to screen Dr Seuss’ The Lorax and then sit in roundtable interviews with several cast members and crew. Meaning, I got to meet icons like Betty White and Danny DeVito, who plays the Lorax and, as such, “speaks for the trees.” Danny DeVito was dead on as the Lorax. So much so, that the producers at Universal couldn´t imagine anyoneRead More ...
