My 2 year old son loves this book. It has a merry-go-round,a ferris wheel, a pinata and toys & prizes. What Dora fan wouldn't love it.

At the Carnival features Dora and Boots trying to win the Big Pinata at the carnival. They need 8 tickets to win the grand prize and they collect the tickets by riding rides and playing games.
The target age group says 4-8 and unfortunately, the information in this book spans that age gap. Most of the book is very simplistic, encouraging children to identify shapes like a star and colors such as purple and orange. But at the end, Dora has collected 4 + 4 tickets...and she asks the child how many she has collected. In my opinion, if your child doesn't know basic shapes or colors, the math is way over his or her head. If your child can do basic addition, then colour and shape identification is likely far behind his or her skill level.
While the story is quite colorful and has a lot of potential, I was disappointed at the content. It's unrealistic that a child would win a grand prize at a carnival just for finding an empty seat on the Ferris Wheel and grabbing an orange ring on the merry-go-round. The story zipped by way too fast without much of a build-up to the "grand prize".
My son has asked me to read this book to him several times since we had it, and that's a good thing as far as reading is concerned. I just wish this book would have been a bit more consistent as to educational level as well as been a bit longer (and logically sequential) like many other Dora books.
