What Parents Need to Know
About Wilbur
Parents need to know that this engaging series introduces preschoolers to reading in a unique way. Kids see books from the vantage point of the reader, watching as his hoof follows the words that are being read and turns the pages when it's time. Characters turn to books for information when they face a problem they can't solve on their own, and they reiterate the lessons they learn from the stories to ensure that young viewers pick up on them.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what their kids like about books. Kids: What are some of your favorite books? What do you like about them? Who are the characters in the books? What problems or issues do they have to solve? How do they do it? How do a book's pictures help tell the stories? Parents can use Wilbur's excitement about reading to jumpstart their kids' own interest in books by reading to them, asking them follow-up questions about the story's plot, and encouraging kids to retell the tale in their own words.
