The show originally was a pilot produced by Cuppa Coffee in 2001.
Wilbur, the main character of the TV series, is a young calf who uses books to find ideas and solve problems. Knowing that books have all the answers, Wilbur guides his friends Dasha the duck, Ray the rooster, and Libby the lamb through various stories to help them find the answers they are searching for.
The show has apparently been canceled for now, since Discovery Kids and Ready Set Learn were dissolved in 2010. Wilbur has not been seen on the schedule of the network's replacement The Hub, or on its website either.
