Hi, I'm Dora.

And I'm Boots.

Do you like the circus?

I love the circus!

Watch me!

[singing circus tune]

[giggling]

Boots!

You're so funny!

[circus music playing]

Listen-- that sounds like the circus train!

Where, where, where, where?

Can you find the circus train?

[circus music playing]

Yeah, there's the circus train!

DORA: Do you see the elephants?

[elephants trumpeting]

DORA: Yeah, there they are!

Do you see the band playing their instruments?

I want to see a lion!

I want to see a lion!

Do you see a lion?

Where?

DORA AND BOOTS: Right behind us?!

[shouting]

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

My name is León.

I traveled here from far, far away.

Someday I hope to join the circus.

I want to be a circus lion!

DORA AND BOOTS: A circus lion!

That's great!

I'm Dora.

And I'm Boots.

Say, can you do any circus tricks?

Oh, yes, I can.

We want to see a circus trick!

How about you?

Would you like to see a circus trick?

Great!

But I'm going to need your help.

I call this trick

"How Many Hot Dogs Can a Lion Juggle?"

Count them with me!

ALL: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

LEON: Ten hot dogs!

Whoa!

Will you help me juggle?

Great!

Put your hands out in front of you

and move them all around

and say, "Juggle, juggle, juggle, juggle!"

ALL: Juggle, juggle, juggle, juggle!

Good juggling!

Muy bien.

[gobbling noisily]

Ah!

He did it!

Wow!

Qué bien!

What a trick!

Way to go, León!

[music begins]

LEON: ♪ El circo me llama!♪

♪ I want to join the circus ♪

♪ The circus is the place for me! ♪

[music ends]

Thank you!

Gracias, gracias.

Oh, León, you have to join the circus.

You really think I could be a circus lion?

Oh, boy, oh, boy!

We have to find the circus train

so we can get to the circus.

Do you see the circus train?

[circus music playing]

Yeah, there it is!

It's headed for that circus tent!

Oh, the circus tent is far, far away.

Don't worry, León.

We'll help you get to the circus.

Will you help León get to the circus?

Great!

Who do we ask for help

when we don't know which way to go?

Map!

The map!

Will you check the map

and find out how to get to the circus?

You have to say "map."

Step right up, boys and girls, and watch me, the amazing map!

I'll help you get to the circus!

First you go through the Swinging Forest.

Then you cross Tightrope Bridge.

And that's how you'll get to the circus

so León can become a circus lion.

So you tell Dora: "forest..." "bridge..." "circus"!

Say it with me.

Forest, bridge, circus!

Forest, bridge, circus!

Forest, bridge, circus!

How do we get to the circus?

Forest, bridge, circus.

So, first we have to find the Swinging Forest.

Do you see the Swinging Forest?

Boy, that Swinging Forest is really far away.

I have something that will help us get to the forest.

Ta-da!

It's a special circus bike called a unicycle.

It has only one wheel, but I can ride it!

[chuckles]

Look what I can do!

DORA: Whoa!

[Dora giggling]

BOOTS: Ah!

[Boots and Dora giggling]

[music begins]

♪ El circo me llama!♪

Oh, León, you have to join the circus.

You're the greatest circus lion!

Go, León, go!

[straining]: I need your help.

Will you help me pedal?

Great!

Put your feet in the air... put them in the air

and pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal!

[all exclaim]

DORA: Qué divertido!

[Boots and Dora cheer]

LEON: Thanks for pedaling!

DORA: We made it to the Swinging Forest!

BOOTS: Look-- swings!

Ooh, I know a circus trick

that will help us through the Swinging Forest.

Hang on tight.

BOOTS AND DORA: Whoa!

[both giggling]

LEON: I need your help.

Will you tell me to jump

when the next swing is very close to me?

Great!

Should I jump now?

DORA: No, León, the swing is too far away.

LEON: Should I jump now?

DORA AND BOOTS: Yes!

[Dora and Boots exclaim]

LEON: Now I need to jump to the next swing.

Should I jump now?

DORA: Nope, it's far away.

LEON: Should I jump now?

DORA AND BOOTS: Yes!

DORA AND BOOTS: Whee!

Thanks for helping me!

[band plays fanfare]

Where do we go next, Dora?

Forest, bridge, circus.

We went through the Swinging Forest,

so next comes the...

Bridge, right!

Tightrope Bridge!

Do you see Tightrope Bridge?

Yeah, there it is.

Come on, vámonos!

Let's go to the circus!

So León can become a circus lion!

Wow!

Excelente!

Yay!

What a trick!

[rustling]

Uh, oh.

That sounds like Swiper the fox.

Swiper!

That sneaky fox is always trying to swipe our stuff.

He'll try to swipe León's circus toys.

If you see Swiper the fox, yell "Swiper!"

You see Swiper?

BOOTS: Oh, no!

You'll never find them now!

[laughing]

León can't be in the circus without his circus toys.

Will you help us find León's circus toys?

Great!

We've got to find León's circus toys.

Let's find León's hula hoop.

Is this his hula hoop?

[snake hissing]

Oops-- that's a snake.

Can you find León's hula hoop?

You found it!

Now we have to find three juggling balls.

Can you find all three of León's juggling balls?

Count with me.

One...

two...

three!

Three juggling balls!

Great!

You found all of León's toys!

Thanks for helping!

Come on, we've got to go over Tightrope Bridge!

Whoa, how are we going to get over that?

I know a circus trick we can do.

It's called the "Tightrope Walk."

Like this.

You hold your arms out to the sides,

then you put one foot in front of the other.

And that's how you do the Tightrope Walk.

[clapping]

[fanfare playing]

Thank you! Thank you!

Gracias!

Now it's my turn.

I put my arms out to the sides...

I put one foot in front of the other.

Whoa!

Whoa-- I'm doing the Tightrope Walk!

Whoa, good trick!

I think you could be a circus monkey.

Way to go, Boots!

Now it's our turn.

I need your help to do the Tightrope Walk.

You have to stand up to do the Tightrope Walk.

Stand up, please!

Up, up, up!

Now put your arms out to the sides

and walk and walk and walk and walk!

Yay!

You made it across Tightrope Bridge!

Excelente!

[fanfare plays]

Where do we go next?

Forest, bridge, circus!

We went through the Swinging Forest...

over Tightrope Bridge...

so next comes the...

Circus, right!

[fanfare plays]

Do you see the circus?

Ooh, yeah!

There it is!

There it is!

Come on, vámonos!

Hi, Boots.

This is our friend, León.

He wants to be in the circus.

Well, you better hurry-- the show is almost starting!

I have something in my backpack that will help us go fast.

You have to say "backpack."

The skates, right!

Now, where are the helmets?

Right, there they are!

Smart looking!

Muy bien!

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-- delicioso!

We've got to skate fast so we can get to the circus.

Here we go!

ALL: Thank you!

Gracias!

Watch this-- I can buy us all some circus treats.

But I need your help.

Do you see the cotton candy?

Yeah, there it is!

[coins jingle]

BOTH: Mmm!

Now let's buy some balloons.

Do you see the balloons?

[coins jingle]

ALL: Yay!

Uh-oh, the circus tent!

BOOTS: It's closed!

ALL: Open, circus tent!

¿Qué?

The circus tent speaks Spanish.

To get the tent to open, we have to say "Abre."

Can you say "abre"?

Say "abre."

Louder!

ALL: Abre!

Gracias!

Wow!

El circo!

The circus!

But where's León?

Do you see León?

Right!

There he is!

Whoa!

What's he doing up there?

[crowd gasping]

MAN: Un león!

GIRL: It's a lion on a unicycle!

[crowd gasping]

This is going to be my greatest trick!

But I need your help.

I need to find the rope that will take me

all the way to the ground.

Will the purple rope get me all the way down to the ground?

Nope.

Will the blue rope?

No?

Will the green rope?

No?

How about the yellow rope?

Yes!

The yellow rope will take me all the way down to the ground!

Thanks for helping me find the right rope!

Now I need you to clap for me as I come down.

[audience clapping]

DORA: Clap louder!

[audience claps louder]

Come on, let's show everybody how we can juggle!

Put your hands out in front of you and say

"Juggle, juggle, juggle!"

DORA AND BOOTS: Juggle, juggle, juggle!

My favorite part was

when we helped León juggle ten hot dogs.

Juggle, juggle, juggle.

BOTH: Juggle, juggle, juggle!

We couldn't have done it without you.
