Tabasco the Saucy Raccoon
by: Hancock, Lyn
For almost thirty years, award-winning author and adventurer Lyn Hancock
kept a special story close to her heart. At last, she is ready to tell
it: the remarkable tale of an animal whose saucy personality enlivened
Lyn's days and brought joy and wonder to the lives of countless people.
At three weeks, Tabasco is a tiny, helpless ball of fluff. Already, the
little raccoon's life is unusual: tucked into Lyn's pocket or tote bag,
Tabasco accompanies Lyn on a cross-country tour, making friends every
step of the way. By the time they get home, Tabasco is ready to explore
the world - inch by exciting, fragrant, tactile inch. Nothing is safe
from Tabasco's clever paws. Dogs run and horses stand still when Tabasco
comes to call. For some, the raccoon's like her namesake: a little goes
a long, long way. But children flock from all around to play with Lyn's
busy, talkative friend. Much as Lyn loves Tabasco, she knows that raccoons
are wild creatures, not house pets. The story of Lyn Hancock's search
for a new, wild home for her beloved companion will melt your heart. Young
and old alike will treasure the unforgettable tale of Tabasco, the saucy
raccoon. Ages 12 & up.168 pgs.
