Browsing through the Alamo gift store, I happened upon The Alamo Cat by Rita Kerr. I am an avid collector of children's books of all types, so I thought this would be the perfect addition to my collection. After each chapter, I would go find my cat (usually curled up asleep on my closet floor) and spend time caressing her. After the final chapter, I picked her up and held her close -- what a tearjerker! I only hope that I am one day able to talk with Rita -- I am an inspiring writer and I think talking with her would give me a much needed boost to get some things done! Now, I have to go back and buy the rest of Rita's books -- as well as check out where Ruby is buried!

This book is about a cat that gets caught in a fire and is found up in a tree. The rangers of the Alamo adopted this cat, Ruby, as their mascot. This is probably the best Rita Kerr book I've read. I used to live in San Antonio, so i met Rita Kerr. I have almost all of her books. Theyre all about Texas and many stories and legends about Texas. You should read all of Rita Kerr's books. They are great. Some other Rita Kerr books are: the Haunted House, A Wee Bit of Texas, and Tex's Tales. You should read all of them. You will love them. I recommend this book for everybody. I loved this book.
