Summary of Book:
This is a very colorful and amazingly illustrated book about Tony Sarg. Tony Sarg is the amazing puppeteer who invented the first balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I loved this book! This will definitely be one that I will read to my classroom before they go on Thanksgiving break. The Macy's Day Parade is something that almost all children and their families wake up to watch. This book is interesting even to parents because it is true and gives some information that you may not gain just from watching the parade.
