(4) K-3 This picture book biography explores how Alexander Graham Bell's youthful inquisitiveness, playful experimentation, and family circumstances led to his celebrated breakthrough invention. Fraser collages her own vintage-inspired cartoons into old and new photographs, creating images that feel a bit disorienting even as they provide context. Bell's broader achievements become clear through sidebars and back matter, which includes expanded biographical information, an author's note, and photo credits. Timeline.
