She’s back. Or, perhaps more accurately, she never left. The she in question? None other than Dora Márquez, the seriously curious, adventure-seeking 7-year-old, who you might know simply as Dora from Dora the Explorer. The show, which spanned 172 episodes and originally aired on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2014, follows Dora as she embarks on journeys and quests with her interactive map, talking purple backpack, and Boots, her monkey BFF (whose name comes from his favorite pair of red boots).
