Summary[]
On a night with a blue moon filling the sky, a moon fairy named Moona appears outside the Blue's Clues house and tells Blue a story about her birth under a blue moon, with a key that will unlock her greatest gift. We follow Moona to find this key and once we have it, a great hunt all over the Blue's Clues house begins to find the lock that it fits. Once that's found, the key unlocks Blue's Room, a special playroom where she is able to talk. Here, Blue can meet lots of new friends, but the most important thing about it is that she can communicate orally. We take part in games such as Boogie Woogie, Dress Up Chest, Silly Seat, and Doodle Board.

Trivia[]
- This is the very first episode that Blue has an ability to talk in human speech.
- This is also the first episode we see her in puppet form.
- This is the first episode of Season 6.
- This is the first episode where Mailbox and the other characters are all absent.
- This was the last episode to use the previous season's intro, but in variation. For one thing, there's no vocals in "Another Blue's Clues Day". Blue barks differently when she jumps in, and instead of Steve/Joe's house, the bush, and the tree swing popping up, once Blue opens the book, it shows a blue crescent moon in a darkish blue sky. Also, instead of Blue skidooing into the Blue's Clues book, she instead wobbles in excitement, and the scene in the book zooms in full-frame, and the episode continues from then on.
- Due to the plot of this episode, this episode does not include Play Blue's Clues, Mailtime, Video Letters, or Skidoo segments in this episode.
- This is the third episode where the Play Blue's Clues was not featured.
- This is the first episode for Season 6, and the first episode to be air in 2004.
- Despite being the first episode of the season, it was the 6th episode produced in the season. It was also filmed a year prior to release.
- This episode premiered on February 8, 2004 on Nick Jr. (primetime premiere on Nickelodeon) and was also later re-shown on Noggin on July 29, 2004.
- This is the first episode to have Moona appear for this season.
- She appeared in the official TV series Blue's Room.
- This is the first episode of Season 6 in which The Goodbye Song was not sung, but it would be sung in the next episode Love Day. This will happen again in Meet Blue's Baby Brother.
- If not counting Meet Blue's Baby Brother as a Blue's Clues episode, this is the only episode of Season 6 to not feature The Goodbye Song.
- The Talking Clues are absent in this episode. This is because they did not play Blue's Clues in this episode.
- This is the first episode combining the traditional Blue's Clues elements with the Blue's Room segment.
- When Joe put on the silly looking hat, he sings "Joe's got a silly hat", this is a reference to Draw Along with Blue and Blue's Big Musical where Steve sings "Steve's got a silly hat".
- As Blue grew up, her ears started getting longer.
- Starting with this episode, Victoria Pontecorvo provides Blue's voice in the Blue's Room segments, while Leslie C. Rudolph does the puppetry.
- When the scene of Blue reading a book and listening to music is shown, a snippet from the "So Long Song" can be heard in low quality.
- The instrumental version of "Go, Blue, Go, Find the Lock For Your Key" was heard in the closing credits.
- This is the first episode in broadcast order where the closing credits are shorter and run fast. In production order, it would be Love Day.
- All the credits in Season 6 are fast except Joe's Clues and Skidoo Adventure.
- Parts of the story from the legend are similar to the story heard in Blue the puppy was actually supposed to be an orange cat.
- According to Moona, all other dogs act as they do for real and are not colored like in animation. It is possible that there could be a special moon for Magenta and Green Puppy, but since they are not the main characters of the show, their moons are not shown nor mentioned.
- This is the first and only episode where Patrick Van Wagnen didn't voice Slippery Soap.
- This is the first episode where Jansen Panettiere voices Periwinkle. Kenny Kim no longer voices Periwinkle.
- The voice of Moona was done by Christiana Anbri.
- A drawing of the cow jumping over the moon from "Blue's ABCs" can be seen on a picture on the bedroom wall.
- It looks exactly the way how Steve drew them as clues.
- The Sun from "What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try?" appears on a call reminder on the cork-board, similar to Magenta, Tink in "What Does Blue Want to Build?", Steve's Grandmother in "Blue's Big Treasure Hunt", and Turquoise in "Prehistoric Blue".
- It's revealed that the bench in the sunroom has a lock.
- Joe wears a blue squared shirt in this episode.
- This is also the last time Joe wears his blue shirt in Blue's Clues.
- Although, he does wear a blue squared hoodie in Soccer Practice, but the hoodie is more of a resemblance of Joe's Pajama shirt from Bedtime Business, Morning Music and Sprinkles' Sleepover.
- He is seen wearing a blue shirt three more times in the Blue's Room episodes Holiday Wishes, Little Blue Riding Hood, and Away Great Playdate.
- In the closing credit sequence, starting with this episode, the ball and Blue still come in from Season 5, but after she barks, a different version of the closing Blue's Clues book appeared and it closed up before Blue even began moving away with her ball, Plus, the book closed in a different direction, with the magic sparkles coming out from that side.
- This is the first episode to have the Blue's Room segment until Bluestock.
- This episode marks the debut of Moona during the credits, appearing on both sides. But this was the David B. Levy version. Dale Clowdis' version can be found in The Fairy Tale Ball and Bluestock.
- The wrong locks are on the toy chest, the bench, and the grandfather clock; the lock in the toy chest is too big, the lock in the bench is too wide, and the lock in the grandfather clock is too narrow. Plus, Key has a pawprint shape, so the wrong locks don't have the right shape to match Key.
- Additionally, the wrong sound effect from I'm So Happy! is used each time Key tries a wrong lock.
- This is the only time Mrs. Pepper appears in a Season 6 episode. Although the other Season 6 episodes will have Mrs. Pepper in the credits.
- In this episode, Blue's greatest gift is found instead of three clues.
- The shoes Joe picks up to find a lock are red high cut Converse sneakers.
Goofs/Errors[]
- When Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper deliver the cookies, you can see that there is only one blue crescent moon cookie on the plate. But after Key see's two key-shaped cookies, Joe picks up another blue crescent moon cookie that was not seen on the plate when delivered.
- It appears that the episode takes place at night. However, when the camera zooms out to show the entire view of the house at the end of the episode, it appears to be daytime. It's possible that the sun rose during the Blue's Room segment, despite the fact Joe says good night to the viewers.
- In the flashback when Moona says that Blue used to sit up and clap her paws, Blue actually sat down and clapped her paws.
- On the VideoNow Jr. version there is an error which is throughout the entire episode, in which the Blue's Clues house, the Blue's Clues book and the Nick Jr. productions are a dark red color instead of the normal yellow.
