Sweet, M., & Newborn, R. (2011). Balloons over Broadway: the true story of the puppeteer of Macy's Parade. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children.
A book that introduces the reader to Tony Sarg and the origins of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Tony was a puppeteer who was asked by Macy's to create something special for the Thanksgiving parade. After several trials, he comes up with the giant balloons that are still popular today.
Sweet's interest in this subject is obvious in her style of writing. As a reader, you are just as eager as Sarg to see if his newest invention will work.
