Upon directions provided by Map, Dora and Boots journey past a banana tree (which they eat to sustain themselves) and through a cornfield (filled with angry red ants, which they avoid by following instructions from a talking scarecrow who tells them to stick to the field's blue stone path after mistakenly scaring Baby Blue Bird which results not only her crying, but also Scarecrow crying) to eventually get the chick back to her family in their little blue tree home. Along their journey they have to; continually avoid Swiper who unsuccessfully attempts to steal items they have found on their journey, e.g. their food (bananas) and the chick's present to her mother (a purple flower); continually cheer-up the chick; and even re-find the chick after she gets lost again.

They traverse a "noisy" river (with the assistance of Tico who rows over a blue rowboat, the only rowboat available with any life jackets and without any holes) and a "quite" forest (using an acoustic horn from Backpack to awaken the sleeping Big Red Chicken who is blocking the only path, then also using a "tiptoe walk" to avoid waking Swiper who had unsuccessfully tried to steal their horn). Upon discovering that the source of the mysterious sound is Benny with the hiccups ("Hic!" - A hiccup, "Boom!" - Hitting the ground after falling down, "Ohh!" - An exclamation), they help cure Benny's hiccups by assisting him in loudly counting to 10. Note: This is Tico and Benny's debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=4 |EpisodeNumber2=4 |Title=Beaches |DirectedBy=Gary Conrad |WrittenBy=[[Eric Weiner]] |Aux2=Karen Heathwood and [[Zac Moncrief]] |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|17}} |ShortSummary=Dora gives Boots a swim ring floaty, after they decide to go swimming at the beach. Following the directions of Map, they travel through some yellow sand dunes via a yellow path (also helping Benny who is continually taking the wrong paths) and down a wooden boardwalk accessed by a rope ladder (missing planks, but repaired by Dora and Boots). During this journey, they repetitively encounter Swiper, preventing Swiper from trying to steal Tico's ice block (a friend they encounter along the way), and then recovering Boots' floaty after Swiper successfully steals, and then discards it. They reunite with Tico and Benny for a swim at the beach, patrolled by an octopus lifeguard (Val). Note: This is Val the Octopus' debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=5 |EpisodeNumber2=5 |Title=Ice Cream |DirectedBy=Gary Conrad |WrittenBy=[[Eric Weiner]] |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|18}} |ShortSummary=Dora and Boots just miss getting an ice cream from the ice cream truck (operated by Val the Octopus). After learning from Benny that the ice cream truck is headed to Coney Island (an island with giant ice cream cones on it), they follow Map's instruction to get there, i.e. going over strawberry mountain (getting a lift from Tico in his car) and going across chocolate lake (using a chocolate boat, which they have to recover after Swiper successfully steals, and then disguards, it). On Coney island, Isa informs them of the Ice Truck's location and an ice cream's cost (8 coins). Dora and Boots hail the ice cream (using a "Ice Cream for Ice Cream" cheer) and each purchase an ice cream using coins from Backpack. Note: This is Isa's debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=6 |EpisodeNumber2=6 |Title=Choo Choo |DirectedBy=Gary Conrad |WrittenBy=[[Eric Weiner]] |Aux2=Bob Curtis and Tina Kugler |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|21}} |ShortSummary=Dora and Boots visit a train station to see the trains (green, red, and blue) and encourage them to blow their whistles, discovering that the smaller blue train (Azul) doesn't have one. Upon learning that the first prize in the big train race (run by Val the Octopus) to the big yellow station is a big whistle, they assist Azul competing in the race. Following maps directions, they travel over a mountain (assisting Azul with the mountain's steep incline with encouragement cheers) and through a tunnel (assisting Azul with a flash light from Backpack, thus helping them see and almost avoid colliding with an on-coming grey train). The other two trains (green and red) tire from initially going to fast, allowing Azul to win the race. Swiper continually hampers their efforts by initially successfully stealing, and then discarding, a section of the blue line's train tracks (repaired by Dora and Boots after recovering the missing track pieces) and then unsuccessfully attempting to steal the race's whistle prize. Note: This is Azul's debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=7 |EpisodeNumber2=7 |Title=Treasure Island |DirectedBy=Arne Wong |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|22}} |ShortSummary=Dora and Boots learn about a buried treasure chest, accessible with a blue key, from Pirate Parrot, who they locate during a game of "I spy". After finding the blue key and obtaining directions from Map, they traverse a long mire of "icky sticky mud" (by using the wooden plank, acting as a bridge, as directed to by the Pirate Parrot, the "lookout tree" guard) and across Crocodile Lake (using a boat sailed by Pirate Parrot and placating the crocodiles by singing "Grande, Grande Grande!"), to get to Treasure Island. Pirate Parrot introduces them to the Pirate Pig who shows them where to find and dig-up the buried treasure (gold coins, toys, chocolate cup cakes with pink icing and stickers), which they all share. Their journey is hampered by Swiper who twice attempts to steal the blue key (once successfully), and dispose of it. Note: This is the Pirate Pig, the Pirate Piggies and the Pirate Parrot's debut |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=8 |EpisodeNumber2=8 |Title=Three Little Piggies |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Carin Greenberg Baker |Aux2=Karen Heathwood and Zac Moncrief |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|23}} |ShortSummary=Dora and Boots visit a pig pen to award each of the three pig occupants a blue ribbon (from Backpack) for being good. Whilst unsuccessfully attempting to steal the ribbons, Swiper leaves the gate open, allowing the pigs to escape. Following Map's directions, Dora and Boots find the 3 pigs, one in a hay stack in the hay field, one hiding behind some barrels in the barn, and the littlest one (Oinky) on a unstable branch of the apple tree (rescued by Dora using a net from Backpack). As they are too heavy to carry, Dora and Boots use a wagon to collect and return the pigs to their pen, before Swiper can steal their ribbons. The wagon causes various problems on their journey that need to be resolved, i.e. rolling away down a hill to almost run into a gate (a collision avoided by Tico opening it) and getting stuck in mud. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=9 |EpisodeNumber2=9 |Title=Big River |DirectedBy=Gary Conrad |WrittenBy=Leslie Valdes |Aux2=Bob Curtis and Tina Kugler |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|24}} |ShortSummary=Boots starts singing and dancing about his red boots, after Dora caught a pair of older boots whilst fishing in the river. One of Boots' red boots slips off, so he and Dora use a boat (damaged, but the holes are repaired by Dora and Boots) to follow Maps directions to retrieve it. They follow close behind the boot as it goes down the river, under a [[bascule bridge]] (down but opened by Tico), past some rapids (having to duck under overhanging branches), past the froggy rocks (which Dora and Boots have to row around to avoid crashing into them), and then onto a waterfall (avoided by taking an 'water-slide'-like little river running parallel to the obstacle). They retrieve the red boot from the river at the base of the waterfall, using a fishing rod from Backpack. Swiper hinders them in this journey, by initially unsuccessfully attempting to steal the boat after they fix it, and then finally unsuccessfully attempting to steal the retrieved boot once it is rescued from the river. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=10 |EpisodeNumber2=10 |Title=Berry Hunt |DirectedBy=Arne Wong |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|25}} |ShortSummary=After Dora eats the five blue berries that her mother packed for her, Dora and Boots go hunting for more at Blueberry Hill. After obtaining a little blue pail to carry them (from Backpack) and directions to Blueberry Hill (from Map), they traverse the Icy Cold River (using a rowboat) and the Prickly Forest (using one of the overhanging vines to swing over), to get to Blueberry Hill (locked, but accessed with the Spanish password of "¡Abre!"). Whilst picking blueberries, they try to keep as quite as possible so as to avoid arousing Swiper, who lives in a foxhole on that hill. However, after picking 15 of them, they must fend off Swiper's attempt to steal the newly picked blueberries. They are then chased from the hill, and back over all the obstacles the way they came, by a hungry bear. They escape the bear when he is unable to swim all the way over the icy river to follow them, allowing Dora and Boots to celebrate and eat the blueberries they obtained. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=11 |EpisodeNumber2=11 |Title=Wizzle Wishes |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=[[Chris Gifford (actor)|Chris Gifford]] |Aux2=Karen Heathwood and Zac Moncrief |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|28}} |ShortSummary=Dora reads Boots a story ("The Wizzle and the Four Wishes") from a book about wishes (yellow with a star emblem) from Backpack. In the story, a 'wizzle' child (Wizzle) found a bag with four star-shaped wishes. After using an initial wish (for ice cream), Wizzle has to chase one of the wishes, blown away by a gust of wind, out of the story book. Whilst attempting to wish himself home to his story book parents (mummy and daddy), yet another gust of wind blows his three remaining wish away. After Map advises them that the wishes are headed to the wishing well, Dora, Boots, and Wizzle go passed the Flowery Garden (they get trapped on top of a giant sunflower, made too big by Isa's use of one of the wishes, but escape by sliding down its stem), through the nutty forest (saving Tico from being hit by large falling nuts, by shouting a "¡Cuidado!" warning, after Tico used one of the wishes to conquer them all up), to get to the wishing well on top of a slippery muddy hill (with a broken stepping stone path up to the well, which they repaired by replacing the missing step stones). Dora catches the last remain star and prevents Swiper stealing it, thus enabling it to be used to wish Wizzle back home to his parents in the story book. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=12 |EpisodeNumber2=12 |Title=Grandma's House |DirectedBy=Arne Wong |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Tina Kugler and [[Erik Wiese]] |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|29}} |ShortSummary=Dora's mother (Mami) gives Dora a basket of treats (cookies, mangos, some [[rice pudding]], and a picture that Dora had drawn of boots and herself.) to give to Dora's grandmother (Abuela), to make Abuela feel better whilst she is recovering from a cold. Following Map's instructions, Dora and Boots cross over the Bumpy Bridge (using a fishing pool from Backpack to retrieve the basket when it falls into the ravine the bridge spans) and across Turtle River by stepping on some of the shells of the Spanish-Speaking turtle inhabitants (having to initially find the basket when they place it on a turtle's back and it is carried away) to get to Grandma's house. During their journey, they must continually avoid Swiper who makes several unsuccessful attempts to steal the basket. Note: This is Mami and Abuela's debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=13 |EpisodeNumber2=13 |Title=Surprise |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|30}} |ShortSummary=Following Maps' directions, Dora and Boots journey back to Dora's house for Boots' birthday party, with a cake obtained from Backpack (a banana cake with banana icing and an image of Boots' face on top, in a square yellow cake box). They must overcome several challenges along the way. They go up some stairs, avoiding both a stampede of chickens and a Spanish-speaking horse ("Caballito"). They recover the cake after Swiper steals it and then discards it in the jungle. They answer the Grump Old Trolls' riddle (singing the Spanish "Happy Birthday" song, "Feliz Cumpleaños"), in order to cross the Troll Bridge. After Dora's Mami (Mrs. Marquez) greets them upon their arrival, Dora and Boots' friends (Tico, Isa, and Benny) all surprise Boots with a "surprise jump". They all celebrate Boot's birthday with balloons, goody bags, a piñata, birthday presents, party games, and Boots' cake. Boots blows out the cake's banana-shaped candle and wishes that he and Dora could play together every day forever and ever. Note: This is the Grump Old Troll's debut. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=14 |EpisodeNumber2=14 |Title=Sticky Tape |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Chris Gifford |Aux2=Karen Heathwood and Zac Moncrief |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|8|31}} |ShortSummary=Upon witnessing Benny's distress, at a hole in his [[hot-air balloon]] that is causing it to descend towards Crocodile Lake, Dora obtains some stick tape from Backpack and, with Boots, she heads to the lake, following Map's directions. Dora and Boots have to continually stop Swiper's attempts to steal the sticky tape, at one point even having to recover the sticky tape from the jungle after it is stolen and discarded. On their journey, they encounter numerous situations which require the stick tape's use, i.e. repairing Backpack's broken strap, patching up five holes in Tico's sailboat's sail (allowing them to cross the Windy River), sticking the Blue Bird family's nest onto a tree (thus avoiding it being blown off), wrapping-up their feet to prevent them slipping (when climbing over Slippery Rock), and repairing the rope ladder on Benny's hot air balloon as they climb up it. They patch the hole in Benny's balloon, thus preventing it from crashing into the lake. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=15 |EpisodeNumber2=15 |Title=Bouncing Ball |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=John Fountain and Tina Kugler |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|9|1}} |ShortSummary=Using money from Backpack (five coins), Dora assists Boots (seven coins) in buying a "supper blue bouncy bouncy ball" (12 coins) from a toy store run by Val the Octopus. After Boots bounces it too hard, the ball bounces near a volcano. To try and retrieve the ball before an eruption occurs, they follow Maps' directions to the volcano. Their journey involves traversing some mucky mud (utilizing some rocks in the mud as stepping stones to jump like a frog over the mud), going over the Troll Bridge (by answering the Grumpy Old Troll's riddle), and finally hitching a lift in Tico's car. During the journey they continually have to avoid Swiper's attempts to steal, and then dispose of, their possessions. Upon their arrival at the volcano and their retrieval of the ball, the volcano erupts with numerous similar bouncy balls. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=16 |EpisodeNumber2=16 |Title=Backpack |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|9|25}} |ShortSummary=This episode is primarily set in the past, as Dora reminisces about the time she first got Backpack. Mami and Papi gave Dora Backpack, including Map, to assist her in returning her 8 library books from home. Following Maps' directions, they crossed over the troll bridge (having answered the Grumpy Old Trolls' riddle and then cut through his net obstacle) and climbed over the Big Rock, in order to get to the library. From Backpack, Dora pulls out numerous items to assist them on their journey, including a [[Band-Aid|soft bandage]] to fix boots' arm injury ("boo boo"), an umbrella to protect them from the rain, scissors to cut through the Grumpy Old Trolls' net, a rope to rescue Boots from quicksand and then climb over the Big Rock, and sicky tap to mend the rope. At one point on their journey, Swiper steals, and then discards, Backpack, forcing Dora and Boots to locate Backpack by its calls, i.e. "Backpack!". Dora and Boots eventually made it to the library as it was closing, encouraging the library door not to close before they got in. The librarian, Val the Octopus, then allowed them to return their books 'on time'. Note: This is Papi's debut. This is also the retrospective introduction and first use of Backpack and Map. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=17 |EpisodeNumber2=17 |Title=Bugga Bugga |DirectedBy=Gary Conrad |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Karen Heathwood and Zac Moncrief |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|10|10}} |ShortSummary=Dora and Boots are on a bug hunt, using her bug book and a magnifying glass from Backpack. They encounter a bug ("Mami Bugga Bugga") struggling to carry a cookie on its back to the bug's home ("the Big Blue Bush") to feed her babies. Following Map's directions there, they go through the Flowery Garden tended by Isa (where they rescue the bug from a "bug trapper" flower) and through a spider web (using the green circle path to avoid the spiders). On their journey, they have to recover the cookie, after Swiper steals and disregards it, and then Bugga Bugga, when the bug is blown away in a big wind. Once at the Big Blue Bush, Mami Bugga Bugga divides the cookie equally to feed her 10 Bugga Bugga babies. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=18 |EpisodeNumber2=18 |Title=Fish Out of Water |DirectedBy=George Chialtas |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Tina Kugler and Dominic Orlando |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2000|10|23}} |ShortSummary=At the beach, whilst looking at seashells, Dora and Boots discover a fish ("Baby Red Fish"). Baby Red Fish was trapped in a small pond after having been carried there by a big wave whilst straying from his home, a rock at the bottom of the ocean ("Red Rock"). Using Map for directions, and a pail from Backpack, they carry the fish through a colony of big clams (using the word "Abre" when trapped in a clam's mouths), over a large sandcastle wall (ascending it by climbing like a crab up a net ladder and sliding down the other side using a sand slide), and past Swiper (hidden behind an umbrella, who is stopped from attempting to steal the pail). Upon reaching the seashore and releasing the fish, Dora and Boots get a lift in Val the Octopus' submarine in order to follow Baby Red Fish home. On the underwater leg of their journey, they save Baby Red Fish from being swallowed whole by a bigger fish ("Big Blue Fish"), by using the command 'abre' to make the bigger fish open its mouth. Both fish, when subsequently swallowed whole by an ever bigger yellow fish, have to save themselves in a similar manner as before. Upon finding the Red Rock, Babby Red Fish finds her family, who are grateful for their child's rescue. |ProdCode= |LineColor=0000FF }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber=19 |EpisodeNumber2=19 |Title=Little Star |DirectedBy=Ken Kessel |WrittenBy=Eric Weiner |Aux2=Kelly Kennedy and Ty Schafrath |OriginalAirDate={{Start date|2001|1|22}} |ShortSummary=Whilst performing her regular wishing upon the first night's star (Little Star) with a telescope from Backpack, Dora and Boots observer Little Star's collision with a comet and its resultant fall to earth.
