Wheedle and the Noodle [Hardcover]

The Wheedle has lived on the Needle for more than thirty years. His earmuffs tightly clamped on his head, he has been slumbering in peace without interruption. All would have stayed the same but for a sad mewling sound echoing through the night. Now the Wheedle has been rudely awoken from a sound sleep. What is that sound that now threatens the peace negotiated years ago? Awake and ready to bring year-round rain back on the kindly folds of Seattle, he begins his search for the sound. And that's how the Wheedle met the cat called Noodle.The Wheedle has been snoring contentedly on the Needle for the past 30 years, when his peaceful slumber is rudely interrupted by a sad and insistent meowing. What happens next will surprise not only your little Wheedles, but all of us who would stare up at the Needle’s red light as kids…or wished we had. Find out what the power of friendship and plain old kitten cuddles will teach even the most curmudgeonly of creatures.
