Children love TabascoLyn Hancock’s 19th book
Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon which hit the best seller list for kids in BC as soon as it was launched in April 2006 is back on the best seller list, at the moment in number 2 position.
The story of this personable raccoon who lived with Lyn Hancock – in apartments, on planes, in cars, in orchards, at university, in the woods, in the wilderness, even on her desk while she was writing books – is now in the hearts and minds of readers of all ages across Canada.
Zoe, a ten-year-old reader in Bella Coola, BC, wrote recently,
Dear Lyn Hancock,
My name is Zoe. I am ten years old. I have just read Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon. Tabasco made me laugh. Tabasco made me cry. Now Tabasco lives in my heart. Thank you for writing a wonderful book,
Zoe
