Alexander Graham Bell Answers the Call

This biography begins with Alexander Graham Bell as a curious boy known to his family as Aleck. Interested in how and why people hear the world around them, he experiments with sound. His mother is deaf, and his father works as a speech therapist, experiences that form part of the account. The story follows Aleck’s investigations as they lead to several inventions, most notably the telephone. Photographs and mixed-media illustrations accompany the narrative.
