In "Dora Rocks!" Benny is having a sing-along party but he forgot to send out the invitations. Dora and Boots must get the microphone to Benny's Barn to call their friends to the party! They rush down the Noisy River, create a rocky avalanche to cross the Rumble Rocks, and arrive at Benny's Barn to call everyone to the barn. Then Dora, dressed in her pop-star outfit, performs a special song with all her friends.
