The book is about a guy named Tony Sarg. He created the balloons for the first Thanksgiving day parade. He made them out of rubberized silk. The ballons were filled with air and helium. I think that people who want to know how they made the balloons would like this book.

ReplyDeleteTony Sarg the boy who loved to figure out how things moved. He was the boy who became the puppeteer of Macy’s parade. I like how you get to see what he made as an adult. It was an excellent book to read because he is such a great puppeteer and I would tell my family and friends to read it.
