Reception
Kirkus Reviews wrote "Though it’s on the long side, Moore’s tale combines traditional themes and spritely illustrations to create a satisfying, offbeat adventure." A reviewer stated in The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This would be a cozy classroom readaloud selection or a comfy bedtime story; having a couple of kitties on hand would, of course, enrich the experience.",
