All Wubbzy wants to do is play, play, play, but when he has a problem, he relies on the help and advice of his two best pals—Widget and Walden.
• Widget is a mechanical whiz who builds amazing machines in her fix-it shop. She’s always ready to jump in and lend a hand while reciting her favorite phrase, “No problemo, little buddy.”
• Walden is a quirky intellectual who has a passionate curiosity about everything and a unique way of looking at the world. Whenever he faces a challenge, he tells himself to “think, think, think!”
