Dora teaches the viewer by asking them to help her solve puzzles. Did you know that Dora Dora the Explorer is broadcast in 141 countries and even has it’s own spin-off show, Go Deigo Go. Diego Marquez is a young action-adventure hero who loves nature and animals. He’s also Dora the Explorer’s cousin.
