Review

"Instructive, funny, and very readable." -- School Library Journal

Always entertaining, occasionally hilarious, occasionally touching....Sound Americana. -- Saturday Review of Literature

Gay and lighthearted...One of the most amusing books. -- The Chicago Sun-Times

Book Description

What do you get when you put twelve lively kids together with a father -- a famous efficiency expert -- who believes families can run like factories, and a mother who is his partner in everything except discipline? You get a hilarious tale of growing up that has made generations of kids and adults alike laugh along with the Gilbreths in Cheaper by the Dozen.

Translated into more than fifty-three languages and made into a classic film starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy, Cheaper by the Dozen is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the 20th century.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, July 6 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Cheaper By The Dozen (Paperback)
A book that I have read no less than 10 times. It's entertaining and insightful and really a timeless story (although part of its charm is the historical information it provides too). It deals with subjects like family closeness, female empowerment, importance of education, and the loss of a loved one, all with humorous anecdotes and touching stories. As a book that I read both as a child and an adult, I was suprised at things I had missed (or where over my head) in past reads and how much I still enjoyed it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper by the Dozen, Jun 2 2004
By A Customer
This book is about a family called the Gilbreths finding the best way to live. They have 12 children. All these children care for many different things and are different ages.They face many differnt obstacles. This family probably is like yours but maybe a little more funnier. You'll laugh by reading this book. The movie is a little differnt from the book. There are two versions of Cheaper by the Dozen. Reading this book will definately remind you of families and your own family. So if your ready for some laughs read Cheaper by the Dozen. If you liked the movie you'll love the book.

This book is abut 2 parents that have 12 kids and how they raise them. The father is a motion study person. And the mother is a philologist. The parents a re from two differ types of back rounds. The mother is from a rich spoiled type of family. And the father is from a not rich not poor family. And the kids don't have allowances but they earn the money. I will not tell you how they get it, that is for you to find out. The book is also about how a family has a tough time in a new place. I personally would recommend this book to a friend. It is funny, sad a bit. Over all it is a totally good book.
