Tony Sarg loved to figure out how things moved in order to create new items. As an adult, his most well known creations are the balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This is a nonfiction book that is accurate, easy to read, and will inspire children to observe and create things. Sweet's mixed media illustrations of collage and paint as well as diagrams, photographs, and newspaper clippings add interest to the story and complement the chronologically organized text. While you won't find pictures of modern day parade balloons, this story is fun and engaging for all readers.
