Here’s a concept for , written as if it were the series premiere introducing the show’s classic format and characters. Episode Title: "The Lost Yellow Star"

See you next time!

The star floats up into the sky, glowing brighter than before. Backpack sings her song. Fiesta Trio plays a short celebration fanfare.

¡Hola! I’m Dora! And this is Boots! (Boots the monkey swings in wearing red boots.)

We have to be very quiet and tip-toe across the stones. Shhh! Can you say “shhh” with me?

We need your help. Look! (Points out the window.) A star just fell from the sky!

¡Sí! But where do we go?

That’s Estrella, the wishing star. If we don’t return her to the sky before sunrise, she won’t be able to grant wishes anymore. Will you help us?

Oh no! It’s Swiper! Say “Swiper, no swiping” with me!

They cross silently. Boots almost sneezes but covers his mouth. At the top, Swiper the fox jumps out from behind a rock.

First, we have to go to the... Talking Tree ... then cross the Poppy Pond ... and finally climb Star Hill . Say it with me: Talking Tree, Poppy Pond, Star Hill!

To pass, answer my riddle: “I have leaves but I’m not a book. I have a trunk but no zipper. What am I?”

(snaps fingers) Oh, man!

Dora, Boots, and the audience wish together: “I wish everyone had a friend who helps them.”

Cut to outside. A small golden star twinkles on the ground near the garden.
