Deco Design - Hardcover

An impressive collection of Art Deco buildings resides in Miami Beach! With bold lines, simple shapes, and vibrant colors, these buildings are appealing to children (and adults) and offer a great way to identify an architectural style and learn about a new city. DECO DESIGN: Miami Beach Style, a children's picture book, will delight, inspire, and educate children with beautiful photographs of historic buildings, Deco details, simple identification methods, and lively rhymes.

This book is a simple yet sophisticated presentation of Art Deco elements using both photographic details and long shots of the buildings. Each page spread shows a different architectural term that identifies the Art Deco style. A key with drawings of each detail is included, and the end text encourages the reader to go back to each page spread to find all the Deco features that each building might have. The last page gives a list of all the buildings, their dates of construction, and their addresses. A kind of search and find book, DECO DESIGN teaches children how to observe and appreciate their surroundings.
