A unique informational book about how a young ambitious boy with big dreams achieves them with hard work and dedication to what is now one of the most infamous parades in the United States.
Design: The illustrations make the book more appealing to children, rather than just the usual photographs in a nonfiction, this provides a more fun element to the information. They went from cartoon like illustrations to more like a 3D puppet-look that helped with how Tony Sarg first started. The illustrations also add visuals to the information, not only assisting in telling the story but also giving a visual of everything that helped Tony Sarg become the giant balloon artist he is.
Organization: It was like a timeline, how Tony Sarg began his journey to become the giant balloon genius he is.
Style: The style of this nonfiction was very entertaining due to the fact that it was more like a story rather than just information. This is definitely more appealing to children and enjoyable.
