MITTENS AND I ARE ON OUR WAY TO PENGUIN ISLAND. CAN YOU BREAK A FIFTY? Cue the Fiesta Trio: Dora the Explorer turns ten years old.
Query: given that Ni Hao, Kai-Lan is clearly the CSI: China to the Dora mothership, what international language/culture should be added next?
Sanskrit.
ReplyDeleteOr just a more honest assessment of the cultures she already investigates. Dora completely ignored the fact that the losers of this game are put to death:

ReplyDeleteInuit. Definitely Inuit.
ReplyDeleteWhen I wrote the question, I was thinking that America was prime for some intercultural standing with the Islamic world, a hijab-clad adventuress, say.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I first wrote this question about three weeks ago. :)
Somali
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I can't believe there isn't a French version of this here in Canada.

We totally watch "Namaste, Kalpana" in our house. Absolutely! :-D
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see the bouncy little Kai-Lan (or Rin-To, Ho-Ho, etc.) my brain says, in its best Kent Brockman: "I, for one WELCOME our new Chinese overlords."
ReplyDeleteI said it out loud to Mrs Nobo when we took the boys to the traveling live Nick, Jr. show earlier this year. I was promply hit by a $15 trinket just purchased.
Who knew Dora had a last name?
