"Backpack Song" • Dora the Explorer (by Kip Knott)


A bullet-proof backpack tops the list of school supplies my son is required to have for his first

day of second grade. After much deliberation, he chooses a candy-apple red one with a blue

unicorn whose white horn shoots into the sky round after round of rainbow glitter.
