Hot Dots Pete The Cat Kindergarten Reading & Math Book with Interactive Pen, Homeschool Learning, Builds Early Skills, Ages 5+

Son loved this! Fun and interactive, easy to use, great quality.

My kids love learning and this item lets them study on their own since the pen lets them know when they are doing things right or wrong. It is good for independent learning!

My preschool daughter got this for Christmas, and it’s been a huge hit! She usually prefers puzzles, crafts, and hands-on activities over anything tech-related, but Hot Dots Pete the Cat totally won her over. It’s the perfect blend of learning and fun. She feels like she’s playing a game, but I know she’s practicing real kindergarten skills.

I ordered this Educational Insights Hot Dots Pete The Cat Kindergarten Reading & Math Workbook for my grandson. I actually ordered two different Pete the Cat sets at the same time. One that is designed for Pre-K that has simpler questions and this one. I let my grandson play with the easier version first so that he could get the idea of how it works without facing challenging material. It was always my intention, though, for him to spend most of his time with this version. The concept is not a new one. I remember playing with a similar toy when I was little, except that the stylus for the one I had was connected with a wire and only lit up for correct answers. For my grandson, that system of no lights no sound for incorrect answers would probably be better. You see, he really loves the sounds that the stylus makes when it detects an incorrect answer. And, actually, pressing the stylus down on any surface that it not the black correct answer dot will produce a "wrong answer" sound. The floor, the walls, the dog, his shoe, his hand... all of these quickly became targets for the stylus so he could get the sound he loved. For kiddos with a tad more self-control, this is a fun and engaging activity. There are lots of pages, and there are no glaring errors that are sometimes found in similar items manufactured in countries where the main language is something other than English. It is possible to turn the sound off on the stylus, but any kid will quickly learn how to turn it back on again. Thankfully, the volume is not screaming loud like so many children's items seem to be these days. And, to his credit, I did hear my grandson playing with this item on his own and, from the sounds I could hear, actually trying to get the correct answers.

Great for new learners

Great book for seeing how much your kid knows. This is easy for your toddler to use on their own. Great quality book, the colors are very vibrant. The sound quality is great and adjustable. Worth every penny to help your little grow their minds.

My kids absolutely love this book! I love that they can do it while I’m cooking dinner or busy and they know whether their answer was right or wrong.

Nice quality but I wish the pen read the card because after all this is for a kindergarten they can read and answer the question.
