Balloons Over Broadway | Biography | Melissa Sweet | Golden Kite Award | ages 4-8 |

Tony Sarg! A magnificent boy who became the greatest puppeteer. soon enough his great skills will lead him somewhere even greater. He will become the creator of balloons you see at the parade every year come Thanksgiving Day! 

You can have so much fun with this book and activities that come to mind just by looking at the title are creating animal balloons and puppets. The appropriate grade levels preschool to third grade.  I would love to use this book in class as we get closer to Thanksgiving break and discuss how and why we came to have the famous parades. 

If you want to know more about activities and resources, you can explore the authors website in which she has generously provided us with these resources.
