## Summary

Mary had a Little Lamb, its fleece was white as snow, but when the Little Lamb gets lost, Dora and Boots know where to go! Viewers join them as they jump into a big book of Nursery Rhymes to bring Little Lamb home to Mary. Along the way, they'll help nursery rhyme pals pick pickled peppers or climb a waterspout, all while helping Dora catch stars!

## Plot

Dora and Boots find a giant nursery rhyme book sitting in the middle of the path, when a lost little lamb jumps out of the book looking for Mary. Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb enter the book into Nursery Rhyme Land. Now they have to check the Map find out how to get Little Lamb home. Map says that they have to go past the waterspout and jump over the moon to find Mary at her own house. Map mentions that there will be some star-catching. Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb were about to go to the waterspout when they heard stars. They catch them, including Glowy, the bright light explorer star, and put them in the star pocket. A soon after, Dora and Boots are ready to take Little Lamb home. They check out other nursery rhymes like Hickory Dickory Dock, Jack-be-Nimble, and Little Miss Muffet. After that, they meet Peter Piper who had a bush of pickled peppers. Peter Piper, Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb pick out picked peppers while stopping Swiper. Afterwards, everyone took a taste on their pickled peppers, including Dora, who admits that she has not tasted a pickled pepper before but it is worth a try. So, she took a bite and realized that she loved it! After their snack, Dora and Boots got going with Little Lamb to the waterspout. The handle turns itself on, and caused a flood. Something had to be done. Luckily, the Itsy Bitsy Spider was there to help. They sing, "Itsy Bitsy Spider" to help the Spider turn off the waterspout. Later, Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb check out more nursery rhymes, like the pig who flew up in the air, Rock-A-Bye Baby, and Jack and Jill. In addition, they found another nursery rhyme called "Humpty Dumpty", who falls off his wall, but they managed to put him back together again by play a jigsaw puzzle game. After fixing Humpty Dumpty, they head off to find the moon where they check out another nursery rhyme called "Hey Diddle Diddle". They see a cow and hopped onto her. Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb tells the cow to "jump" over the moon in Spanish. After jumping over the moon, it turns dark, but luckily Glowy helped light the way down. After riding the cow over the moon, Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb see 3 boys in a tub-car. They ask them if they can have a ride to Mary's House and they said yes. So they got in and off they went. Along the way to Mary's House, they splash into a mud puddle and got all dirty. Dora checks Backpack for something to get them clean. Backpack had a bar of soap to get everyone clean. Dora gets it out and they clean themselves up by saying "Rub-a-dub-dub". The rubbed their hands, their ears, and their tummies. In no time, they got all clean, including Little Lamb. Soon, the tub arrives at Mary's House. Soon after, Dora, Boots, and Little Lamb jump out of the tub and thanked the three boys for the ride. Dora then rings the doorbell, and Mary comes out. Little Lamb reunites with Mary. The episode ends with Dora and Boots singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb". And of course, everywhere that Mary went, Little Lamb was sure to go!

## Trivia

* This is the 83rd episode of the show.
* Dora and Boots start their adventure in a nursery rhyme book.
* In this episode, Map and Dora just say "Water" rather than just "Waterspout".
* It is unknown how Swiper, the Fiesta Trio, and the Explorer Stars got into the big book of nursery rhymes and into Nursery Rhyme Land.
* Dora and Boots only sing the first stanza of the Travel Song in this episode. After that, they look for nursery rhymes in the rest of the song instead of saying "Where are we going?".
* This Episode Marks
	+ The last video for Henry's 4th costume.
	+ The Wiggles' last time to use Takamine acoustic guitars from their previous content in most of the 90's.
		- Beyond this, This is the only time they use the Black Takamine EF341SC Guitar.
		- This is also the last time they use the original Red Starry Guitar from the previous three years of use
		- Starting from the next episode, All electric and acoustic guitars manufactured by Matonwould be used for concert tours and video content from that point on.
		- The first episode to have Murray's short haircut.
		- The last episode to have Leeanne Ashley play Dorothy the Dinosaur. This is also the last time Dorothy uses her original white floppy hat, her hat would get an update with a black outline to look more cartoonish and would be used from 2001 onwards.
* This is the first instance where the Explorer Stars appear just after looking for and before going to the first location, first being The Lost City.
* Glowy Star makes her first appearance in this episode.
* The Spanish word for "Jump" was said in 2 different ways.
	+ When finding Jack Be Nimble, it was pronounced "*Salta*", but when telling the cow to jump over the moon, it was pronounced "*Salte*".
		- The difference between the two is, *"Salte"* is a little more formal way to say "Jump" than *"Salta"* is.
* This is the first episode featuring the 1999-2005 Nick Jr. Productions logo in fast motion.
* Isa, Tico, and Benny don't appear in this episode.
* Unlike the TV version, the VHS and DVD version of this episode uses the Seasons 1-2 opening. The same thing occurred with The Lost City.
	+ This is technically one of the only Season 3 episode to use the Season 1-2 opening, the other being episode said above.
	+ This is the final episode to feature the seasons 1-2 opening in general (unless one counts the home media version. If not, then León, the Circus Lion would be the last to do so).
* When Dora, Boots, Little Lamb, and the three men in a tub are using the soap, Dora can be seen pulling back her ears and revealing shiny gold earrings.  File:0AB8851C-476B-4A2B-A836-421FDD9181E7.png
	+ Dora's ears were visible for the first time.
* This is the second episode not to feature Character Find at the end during the end credits.
* Map no longer sings the I'm the Map song in the Season 1-2 legacy version from now on until the *Go, Diego, Go!*episode Diego and Dora Help Baby Monarch Get to the Festival. Also, he doesn’t say to the viewer "So you tell Dora". From now on, he says "So remember", despite saying "Now remember" in this episode and Stuck Truck.
	+ However, he only sings the last stanza of the song until "¡Por Favor!" (or To the South Pole due to it being shown on VHS and DVD before airing on TV).
	+ This is the first time Map sings "I'm the Map" 4 times instead of twice followed the Fiesta trio singing "He's the Map" 4 times instead of twice. The only other Season 3 episodes with those happening are in Stuck Truck, Roberto the Robot, Dora's Pirate Adventure (extended version), and Louder! (which features the full version instead of just the last stanza).
	+ When Map mentions about star catching, he doesn't say his usual line "Try and catch stars along the way!", he instead says "Don't forget to look for stars along the way!". He says that again in Dora Saves the Game.
	+ He also does not say "So remember" before listing the places, he instead says "Now remember".
* The Picture Pop-Up Sequence where 1st square appears, Dora says 1st place, 2nd square appears, Dora says 2nd place and 3rd square appears, Dora says 3rd place, and the questions, "Where do we go first?" and "Where do we go next?" get put to permanent use as of this episode.
	+ Additionally, Dora will no longer review what she has to do to get to her goal during the first part and ask "So next comes/is...?" (or something similar) during the second and third part of the picture pop up sequence until Season 6.
* This is the first post-Season 2 episode in which the Fiesta Trio do not play their extended fanfare to start We Did It!.
* This is the only episode where Dora and Boots visit Nursery Rhyme Land, which is very similar to Fairytale Land (which would later be introduced in Dora's Fairytale Adventure), except it is where nursery rhyme characters live.
	+ However, unlike Fairytale Land, Nursery Rhyme Land is only accessible through the Big Book of Nursery Rhymes, which is contradictory to how Fairytale Land is accessible simply through the Fairytale Land Gateby saying the password "Once upon a time".
* Starting with the next episode, the Seasons 1-2 opening sequence theme song with two doors opening on their own, entering a room, and zooming up to the green computer will no longer be featured in anymore episodes (even the later episodes on home media) from now on.
* Starting with this season, the copyright year reads, "2002" which means this season was produced in 2002, along with the Season 2 episode The Lost City and the Season 4 episode Best Friends. This means that there are actually 25 episodes in Season 3 produced in 2002.
* The characters who join in on the "We Did It!" song with Dora, Boots, Little Lamb, Mary, the Three Boys, Jack Be Nimble, Peter Piper, Humpty Dumpty, the Cat, and Jack and Jill.
