Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-In these simple board books, Alcantara introduces his charming and adventurous character. In Book 1, children discover that Tento is not a baby, but a white, small, playful dog with long black ears and a red nose. He says "grrrrrrr" when he's angry. In another selection, he has lost his beloved teddy bear. He looks under the bed, on top of his dresser, and in his toy box. Children will enjoy guessing where it is. In Book 3, the pup loves to play dress up. Sometimes he dresses up like a pirate, other times like a superhero. In the last book, Tento would really love to know what color the sea is so he decides to keep looking until he finds it. Gusti's childlike illustrations are simple and sweet. Tento and his teddy bear are lovable, colorful characters that are sure to engage the strictest critics of all-toddlers.-Jessica McClinton, King County Library System, Auburn, WA (c) Copyright 2011.
