Meet Papi, Dora’s dad! Papi is a drama teacher, a fantastic cook and an AWESOME storyteller. Papi often inspires Dora’s adventures and loves sending her off to investigate his tales. Sometimes, Papi gets so excited while telling his stories that he’ll act them out with hand gestures and silly voices! Dora loves Papi’s stories – almost as much as she loves his cooking! The kitchen is Papi’s happy place. His specialties are arroz con pollo and his famous polvorones, a REALLY tasty cookie!
