This review is from: Alexander Graham Bell (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)

The title of this book is an excellent description. "Rookie" aka for very early grades or Pre-School.
I purchased this for my 8YO, and realized that this just would not work nor be enough for her.
But.....if you are looking for something easy to understand with some very wonderful photographs then this is the book for you. :)

This review is from: Alexander Graham Bell (Rookie Biographies) (Paperback)

I began reading this wondering what I was going to have for dinner that night. In the end I called a Chinese take out. I suspect Master Alexander had something to do with that decision. After dinner I was in an MSG stupor and couldnt keep my eyes open to finish the book. Years later when cleaning my domicile I literally stumbled on the book and thought hey no time like the present ! What I found was a vertible saga of epic proportions! No, I hadnt picked up the wrong book! You see the great thing about Alexander Graham Bell was not his minor leage baseball career, nor his stint in the Royal Air Force, his greatness lie in his fantastic beard! Come on! Who among us can do that??
