Uptown is a tour of Harlem. It has collage style artwork as it takes us through the metro, the restaurants, houses, the market, the Apollo, the jazz, the barbershop, photographs, basketball court, canvas on windows, girls on their way to church, the sunset over the Hudson River, and the Boys Choir of Harlem.
Uptown gives a good tour of Harlem from a child's point of view. The artwork is unique with its collage style. I really like the art but the tale was not as interesting. This is a good book to look at for different styles of art and also to learn a little about Harlem.
