If you’ve got toddlers and preschoolers, you know all about Dora. I bet you’re singing the song right now, D-d-d-d-Dora… Well, Dora is coming to town with the rest of her Nickelodeon friends in the new stage show Storytime Live! at the Fox Theatre from June 11 – 13.

Dora is doing a bit of advance work and her appearances are listed below. However, we’ve got a GREAT opportunity for one lucky family to participate in an invitation only Meet & Greet with Dora at Gwinnett Place Mall from 5 – 6 pm tomorrow (Friday, May 14, 2010).
