Giddy isn't like other mountain goats who relish picnics high atop The Needle, the highest mountain around. Stand Giddy on a mountain ledge and his head starts spinning, his face turns white, and his knees turn to jelly. When Giddy runs away to join the sheep on the valley floor, he finds his place is still with the goats, but now he has to find a way to overcome his fear of heights. Luckily, his new friends, Edmund, a lamb who wants to be a rock climber, helps out. Humorous illustrations bring to life this light-hearted and charming story. The theme of overcoming a fear by helping a friend supports character education.
