Reviews

[Caroline Norris · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good biography for children about Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of the telephone.

[Bonnie Green · Rating 4 out of 5]

Terrific biography of Alexander Graham Bell. Out of print, but worth hunting down. Middle grade reading level.

In one of my favorite passages in the book, Bell is meeting with the distinguished physicist Joseph Henry and bemoaning his weak background in electricity. Henry's response? "Get it."

This is such a good biography on Bell for elementary or middle school children. I even learned so much about him, myself!
