Swiper! No swiping…please!?

I hate Dora the Explorer. My daughters seem to like her and there are a few redeeming qualities.  I like the exposure to Spanish.  I like that she’s adventurous.  I like that she’s nice to her friends and works well in a team. But… That show and books aren’t very realistic.  First of all, the
