Summary[]

Dora and Boots are invited to the treehouse for a big thank-you party, and all of their friends are begging them to come.

Plot[]

Dora was looking for Boots. She saw Boots in the trees. Suddenly, they heard a female voice that went, "Help, help, ¡ayúdame!" and more voices went, "Bugga-bugga-bugga-bugga-bugga-bugga-bugga!" Dora and Boots saw Mami Bugga Bugga with only nine bugga-bugga babies. She had ten bugga-bugga babies, but one of them was lost. Dora and Boots searched for the missing baby bugga-bugga. They found the baby bug stuck inside a rock. The rock crumbled open, and the baby bugga-bugga was free and flew to her mom.

Dora and Boots also found a talking bottle in the bush, a talking burger owl in the tree, and a talking bubble man in the flowers. The bugga-bugga babies each took a turn saying thank you in English and in Spanish. Six bugga-bugga babies, including the littlest one, said "gracias," while the other four said "thank you."

Then it was time for Mami Bugga Bugga and her bugga-bugga babies to fly away. She said that there was a big party at a treehouse. The bugga-bugga babies begged Dora and Boots to come. So, they decided to go to the treehouse. But they didn't know how to get there, so they asked Map for the route. Map said that they had to go across Crocodile Lake and over a stone wall to get to the big party at the treehouse.

Dora and Boots walked on a path and found Tico pumping up five balloons. He said, "Tengo globos para la fiesta," which means "I have balloons for the party" in Spanish. All of a sudden, they heard Swiper. They thought he was going to try to swipe the balloons. This time, Swiper got out a pair of scissors and cut the strings, and the balloons floated up to the top of the tree. Dora and Boots helped Tico get his balloons back. Tico had five balloons, and they were all different colors. They found a yellow, red, orange, green, and purple balloon. Once Dora and Boots found the balloons, they counted in Spanish to make sure they had five, and sure enough, they got all five balloons back. Dora and Boots handed the balloons to Tico as they counted to five in Spanish one more time. Tico thanked them, and he was lifted off the ground and floated across Crocodile Lake.

After that, Dora and Boots saw Pirate Parrot, and he had a problem with his boat. It was broken into pieces. But Dora and Boots managed to help him fix the boat. Once the pieces were put back together into their corresponding gaps, Pirate Parrot's boat was fixed and as good as new. He thanked Dora and Boots for fixing his boat and gave them a ride across Crocodile Lake. They went super fast across the lake. Pirate Parrot said that he'd see Dora and Boots later at the party.

After getting across the lake, they continued walking on the path and saw Isa the Iguana needing help. Dora and Boots saw that Isa's scooter was broken, and she had to get to the party. Isa's scooter was missing a wheel. The front wheel was there, but the back wheel was missing. Dora checked Backpack for a wheel that was the right size for Isa's scooter. It had to be small and round. Sure enough, Backpack had a wheel that was just the right size for Isa's scooter. Isa put the wheel on the back of her scooter, thanked Dora and Boots, and rode away.

As Dora and Boots approached the stone wall, they realized somebody was stuck in the wall. They realized that it was Benny the Bull who was stuck. Dora and Boots climbed over the wall to get to the other side. Dora and Boots tried pulling Benny out of the wall, but he was stuck tight. So, they pulled harder and harder and harder. At last, Benny got out of the wall. Benny had to hurry because he had to get to the party.

Dora and Boots were almost at the Treehouse. So far, they had gone across Crocodile Lake and over the stone wall. Dora and Boots were excited for the party. As they approached the treehouse, their friends were outside, all sad, because the treehouse door was stuck and they couldn't get in. But Dora and Boots decided to try opening the treehouse door themselves. It was stuck tight, but they were determined to push open the door. With help from the viewer, Dora and Boots each put out one hand and reached. Then they pushed and pushed harder and harder, and before long the door was pushed open, and they climbed inside.

Confetti spilled all over the treehouse. It spilled on Dora and Boots. More friends were inside: Señor Tucán, Baby Blue Bird, the Fiesta Trio, and even Big Red Chicken were at the treehouse. Boots realized it was a party for him and for Dora. The reason was that Dora and Boots were always helping out, and that's why they were having this party—so their friends could say "thank you." They had helped Mami Bugga-Bugga find her lost bugga-bugga baby, helped Tico get his balloons back, helped Pirate Parrot fix his boat, helped Isa fix her scooter, helped Benny out of the stone wall, and to top it all off, they helped everyone get inside the treehouse by pushing open the door. Their friends really appreciated what Dora and Boots had done because of the way they helped them.
