Who Was Alexander Graham Bell?

My 3rd grade son, Alex, had to do a book report on a nonfiction book. He chose this book because they share the same first name. My son struggles with reading, but his teacher really wanted him to try to read a book that was grade level appropriate, and this book fit that criteria. This book was very difficult for him, and he would not have made it through the book on his own. He read the entire book out loud, to me. We did one chapter per day for 10 days, and we were done. There was a lot of information in the book that was not only new to my son, but to me as well. I have now purchased several other "Who Was" books for my children. My 6th grader is the most interested in these books. She loves to read nonfiction. The reading level is probably too easy for her, but she enjoys them anyway, and she is learning about famous people in history!

Love it

Granddaughter LOVES these books! She is in 2nd grade, but is an advanced reader.

"Who Was Alexander Graham Bell" Talks about, well, Alexander Graham Bell.It says some things you might not know about this guy. The telephone is a big part in this book, but also talks about things like how he helped Helen Keller, about how he almost saved president Garfield, and how he attempted to create flying things( @$ In Airplanes). In short, a very informational book, reallÿ enjoyed it.I definitely recommend this book.

I got these for my local children's library from their wish list. The kids are excited about reading them.

I would recommend this book to any grade school student that was needing to do a book report. It's very informative as well easy to read.

My 8 yr old granddaughter loves these books so we just keep adding to her collection. I love to read them, too! I would have loved these as a kid!

I liked the simplicity which the authors explained the biography - it gets to the point
