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?

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. :)

Does this set extend from the Pete the Cat preschool books, or are they similar levels and concepts?

I'm not sure.. I never bought any of the Pete the Cat books.

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.

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.

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?

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.
