Cheaper by the Dozen
What's This Book About
One of the best-loved American memoirs of an oversized family and the parents who held them together. 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, this memoir is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the 20th century.
