Dora the Explorer Season 1 Episode 9 Big River Episode Title:Big River.Episode Description: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.
