Nice story, although I wish the girl hadn't been made up. The illustrations are lovely.

A fictionalized version of the events that led to the creation of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Author's Note at the end explains what pieces were real and what was imagined and why. Perfect text pairing for BALLOONS OVER BROADWAY, and could pair well with LAUNDRY DAY for envisioning the immigrant experience in NYC.

Meh. The illustrations are fun. But it read like a âtrue storyâ until the authorâs note at the end, which said that basically it was entirely made up- even Mr. Macy was dead before there ever was a Macyâs parade! And yet heâs a character in the book?! Not a keeper.

Wonderful children's story about the Macy's Day Parade. Different outlook on a holiday book. Grades 1-2. Great to pair with Balloons Over Broadway.

Loved the idea behind this book and how parts of it are inspired by partly true events. It also includes artwork by the talented Brett Helquist (illustrator of âSeries of Unfortunate Eventsâ)

This story is a "not so true" tale of how the Macy's Day Parade came to be. I love Shana Corey for strong female characters, her ability to weave a story I canât put down, while at the same time, keeping it simple enough that even younger children can enjoy.
Unlike Here Come the Girl Scouts, this story contains little fact and alot of fiction. Which doesnât make it any less fun⌠just donât plan on using it as a non-fiction text.
