Summary

Map is stolen by a bird who thinks Map is a stick, so Dora and Boots make their own map and must head to the Tallest Mountain in order to save Map.

Recap

Dora and Boot are on a far hill away three mountains. Dora introduces her friend, Backpack and hints another friend that lives inside Backpack. Dora asks the viewer(s) who that is. Shortly after, Map pops out and sings a little verse of his song. He then jumps out on the ground.and asks the viewer(s) to sing with him. Dora and Boots join in as well. After they sing, Map jumps on a log and declares everyone should take a bow. Dora and Boots applaud and begin to laugh. Meanwhile in the distance of the three mountains, a big bird swoops down behind the log Map was on. Whilst sing his song once more, the bird picks up three little sticks, then sees Map and somehow mistakes him for a big stick so he takes him away to the Tallest Mountain. Dora and Boots give chase but fail. Map tells them he and the bird are flying to Tallest Mountain. Dora asks how will they get to the Tallest Mountain, and Map responds with "You'll just have to make your own map...!" as he flew away in the distance. Boots asks Dora how they would make their own map. Luckily, Dora has an art box with five yellow stars in Backpack. With the help of the viewer(s), they find the box and Dora opens the box to find crayons and paper. The two walk over to the highest part of their hill to see the view that is their quest. Dora draws three pictures on her paper. One was of the Butterfly Garden close to the hill, next, a cornfield, and then a tall mountain. Dora holds out the paper to Boots and begins to act as a fake map, saying the names of the places.

It is clear what they have to do; they have to go to Tallest Mountain to get back the Map. So the quest begins...
