Balloons Over Broadway

By: Melissa Sweet

This book is about Tony, who is a marionette maker (or a puppet maker).  When Tony grew up he helped Macy's with putting puppets in the window.  He later helped make puppets for the Macy's day parade.  Tony helped to make air pressure puppets, filled with helium and air, that would float in the sky for the parade.   He used his idea of marionettes by making his puppets go in the air so all could see them, yet he tied strings to make the balloons move (upside down marionettes).

This book is recommended for kids 10 and up to read.  This book is nonfiction because it is a real story.

I liked when they stated putting puppets in the air for everyone to see at the parade.

I would give this book four out of five stars.

BAKE SALE
BY.Sara Varon

The book bake sale is about Cupcake and Eggplant.  They are friends. Cupcake owns his own bake shop and plays in a band with Eggplant.  One day Eggplant finds an article in a cooking magazine.  It says that there is a baking contest, the winner gets to take 2 people to the place of their choice.  Eggplant told Cupcake about the Turkish delight (a chef), so Cupcake wanted to go win that contest.  You will have to read  the rest of the book to find out what happens.

This book would be good for all ages those that like friendships and that like to read comics (the way the book was written).

My favorite part of this book is when Cupcake finds out about the baking contest.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
