Wellbefore Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, Aleck (as hisfamily called him) was a curious boy, interested in how and why he wasable to hear the world all around him. His father was a speech therapistwho invented the Visible Alphabet and his mother was hearing impaired, which only made Aleck even morefascinated by sound vibration and modes of communication.
Naturally inquisitive and inclined to test his knowledge, young Aleck was the perfect person to grow up in the Age of Invention. As a kid he toyed with sound vibrations and began a life of inventing.
This in-depth look at the life and inspiration of the brilliant man who invented the tele-phone is sure to fire up the imaginations of young readers who question why and how things work.
Driven bycuriosity and an eagerness to help others, Aleck became a teacher forthe deaf. His eventual invention of the telephone proved that he neverstopped thinking big or experimenting with sound.
Backmatter includes more information about Bell’s inventions, a timeline of his life, a bibliography, and sources for further learning.
