I'm looking for my favorite book from when I was a child. It was about kittens from a candy shop. They all had names of candy, including peppermint, a white kitten who jumps into a tub of blue inking and then wins a ribbon at the pet show. I've been searching for years, if anyone can help me, I'd greatly appriciate the title or author. thanks!

I remember the one about the kitten falling into the bluing and then winning the pet store prize, but not the name. Bluing used to be used as a laundry device to change yellowed linens back to white. I think all the other kittens who had been sold first at the pet shop were at the pet show too, and the little runty kitten won because she had a pretty bow and had fallen into the bluing.

actually the first post was correct all of those things happen in the same book and it is called Peppermint. I can't seem to find it for less than $50 anywhere...

That was my favorite Little Golden Book when I was a little girl. My name is Barbara, and I had an all white kitten named Peppermint, although we never dyed her blue. I gave this book to my Niece for her baby shower just a few years ago. We were asked to give a copy of our favorite book, with a picture attached in the back, so that when our niece and her husband read to the baby, they would show the picture of who provided the book, and the baby would learn to know the family. Most gave new books. I gave them my most cherished childhood memory, and it felt great. I know it is well-loved.
