Sweet, Melissa. (2011). Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of
the Puppeteer of Macy’s Parade. New York: Houghton Mifflin Books for
Children.
This is the true story of a man (Tony Sarg)
who strted inventing things ever since he was a little boy. He would later make mechanical marionettes
that performed as if they were real actors on broadway. But
that was not all. He would later work
for Macy’s Deparment store and come up with the idea of building a balloon
puppet that performed every year in Macy’s parade in New York celebrating
Thanksgiving Day. These Gigantic
Balloons were manageable to move as they were maipulated through ropes that
were attached below. This would make the crowd cheer for more.
This is a book that can help inspire a child’s innovative mind to create
anything they put their minds to.
