Alexander Graham Bell (On My Own Biography)
Grade 1-3-Beginning with Bell's childhood in Scotland, this book  treats the inventor's early years spent working with his father  (a speech teacher), studying speech and sound in college,  developing an interest in inventions, and teaching at schools  for deaf children. An afterword addresses his later career and  personal life. Full-color illustrations and one sepia-toned  photo, large print, and easy text will be helpful to beginning  and reluctant readers. The afterword is on a higher reading  level.Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NYCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
