Balloons over Broadway



Sweet, M. (2011). Balloons over Broadway: The true story of the puppeteer of Macy’s
            parade. New York: Houghton.

Tony Sarg, known as a master puppeteer, created something magical when he invented the giant balloons that grace the streets of New York City every Thanksgiving. With his big ideas and craftsmanship, Sarg took the basic puppet, turned it upside down, and the famous balloons of the annual Macy’s day parade were created.
