Hola! We read the Dora and the Lost City of Gold movie novelization by Steve Behling so you don’t have to!

Strap on your backpack and listen to this episode as you hack your way through the jungle!

Candy Pairing:  Kait says movie theater popcorn, Kristi says last year’s Halloween candy, Renata says pan dulce.
