Gilbert (below) says it "ran a close second" for the Newbery Medal.
Synopsis:
"In the Metropolitan Museum of Art [New York] there hangs a carpet with a fascinating blue cat woven into the design, and behind this there lies a story--a highly imaginative and adventurous tale."
--Christine B. Gilbert, "Books for Boys and Girls", Parents' Magazine 25.11 (November 1950) p140-41
"[T]his successfully treads that thin line that wavers between fantasy and realism. The hero of the story is a blue kitten, born under a blue moon, and living near a small Vermont town in the time of our Revolutionary War."
