by Margaret Mahy (Author), PatriciaMcCarthy (Illustrator)
Mr Prospero is an important businessman with a propensity for neatness and order. One evening his twins, Harry and Miranda, beg him to take them to the playground. Since his wife is busy, he reluctantly agrees, and everyone is pleasantly surprised when he becomes the biggest fan of the huge slippery slide which is also known as the Dragon's Tongue. A wonderful book to share with children - and also for all of us who have forgotten the joys of childhood and what it is like to go WHOOSH! Down a huge slippery slide.
