A Pacific Northwest creature finds a place above Seattle

The Wheedle begins in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, but human settlement and city noise drive the quiet creature toward Mount Rainier and, ultimately, Seattle’s Space Needle. That journey gives the story a distinctly regional setting, linking wilderness, urban growth, and a familiar city landmark. This anniversary edition restores Seattle-centered material that later editions omitted, making the book’s original setting and storyline part of the reading experience again.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in animal-like fantasy creatures and adventures.
  • Families looking for a picture-book story connected to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
  • Readers interested in a classic children’s fable with a regional setting.

Book overview

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.
