MITTENS AND I ARE ON OUR WAY TO PENGUIN ISLAND. CAN YOU BREAK A FIFTY? Cue the Fiesta Trio: Dora the Explorer turns ten years old.

Query: given that Ni Hao, Kai-Lan is clearly the CSI: China to the Dora mothership, what international language/culture should be added next?

    Sanskrit.

    Or just a more honest assessment of the cultures she already investigates.  Dora completely ignored the fact that the losers of this game are put to death:

    Yiddish. Complete with a raccoon named "Gonif."

  5. When I wrote the question, I was thinking that America was prime for some intercultural standing with the Islamic world, a hijab-clad adventuress, say.

    Of course, I first wrote this question about three weeks ago. :)

    In all seriousness, I can't believe there isn't a French version of this here in Canada.

    Whenever I see the bouncy little Kai-Lan (or Rin-To, Ho-Ho, etc.) my brain says, in its best Kent Brockman: "I, for one WELCOME our new Chinese overlords."

    I said it out loud to Mrs Nobo when we took the boys to the traveling live Nick, Jr. show earlier this year. I was promply hit by a $15 trinket just purchased.
