Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (NY) (Images of America)

All though the font is small as one customer complained it is a fabulous book filled with several primary sources and information about the Macy’s day parade. Several photos are in black and white but as the parade started in 1924 this was as expected! The book also has several photos of actually newspaper articles and ads. I bought it to us as a resource to teach my 4th graders about the origin of the Macy’s day parade. Although the material is above their reading level the photographs and newspaper artifacts were just what I was looking for!

I had the chance to read this and speak with the author for my podcast called Shaping Opinion. It was really interesting to learn the history of the parade and what makes it so special. But it's more than a parade. There are many personalities who made it what it is today. Loved the interview, and loved the book, and you will, too.

Bought this for my wife. She really loves it!

Great Book! The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that it did not arrive covered in plastic. Some of the glue from the envelope stuck to the book, causing part of the cover to tear off. This would not have happened if my purchase had been shrink wrapped. I needed the book for Thanksgiving and did not return it. The book is great. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in the way it was shipped to me.

Great book full of historical facts and pictures.

Wow, I loved this book! Every fact since 1924 when the parade began is here and so well organized. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Excellent history and photos of the Macy’s parade!

Good book. Interesting story of the Macy's history
