From the publisher

Deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest lives a quiet old creature named the Wheedle. When humans move into his forests, bringing their loud city noises, Wheedle flees to the rocky peaks of Mount Rainier, and then to the very tip-top of Seattle’s Space Needle. A national bestseller, the beloved Wheedle on the Needle had much of its Seattle-centric storyline stripped from later editions. This glorious 35th anniversary keepsake edition brings back the book’s original charm, inviting a new generation of readers to delight in the Wheedle’s adventures.
