## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this one dog work across all the different sets you can purchase or do you need to load the lessons on via computer when you purchase a diff. 1?**
A: Hi ElizabethThe Hot Dots Jr. "Ace" - the Talking, Teaching Dog pen is compatible with all Hot Dots Jr. sets as well as all of the Hot Dots sets. :)

**Q: Does this set extend from the Pete the Cat preschool books, or are they similar levels and concepts?**
A: I'm not sure..
I never bought any of the 
Pete the Cat books.

**Q: I purchased some hot dots seven years ago. The dots no longer illicit a positive response. The pens work fine. Is there a way to refresh the dots.**
A: The dots have an embedded QR code that the pen "reads"... if this is no longer working  you can try cleaning the pen tip with damp cloth... other than that the error would be internal to the optical reader, or damage to books pages.

**Q: Its giving the wrong responses. I have tried new batteries but it still says all the answers are wrong even if they are right. What is wrong?**
A: I gave this gift to my Grandaughter  and my son told me they are
having the same problem when she answers the question right
sometimes the pen turns red when they know the question is right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good transition activity
*by M***. on July 13, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect educational task
*by L***H on September 22, 2025*

What a nice educational task for my grandkids!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is cute and I love that, compared to say LeapStart
*by S***H on January 1, 2018*

This is cute and I love that, compared to say LeapStart, I didn't have to download any audio/data - it was ready to go right out of the box (with some batteries, of course!). I was going to purchase a LeapFrog LeapStart, but the numerous frustrations I read about with downloading the audio/data pushed me away from what I thought would be a cool product. This seemed much easier to use. There will definitely be a learning curve with how it works, but I think it is a nice idea. Additionally, there are some questions written above, so these would need to be read to the youngster by a fluent reader so that the learning activity made sense. It's not like LeapStart, which I believe just speaks to you, so there may need to be some adult supervision/guidance.
