When Alexander Graham Bell was a child, he was full of questions. Could he make his dog speak? Could he make a machine that talked? As he got older, Aleck kept asking questions, and he learned more and more. Soon he asked the question that everyone wanted to answer: Could he build a machine to help people talk with each other when they were far apart? This is the story of Alexander Graham Bell's lifelong curiosity and how he invented the telephone.
