Review: I read this bok about 20 years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. This is the kind of family I would have liked for next door neighboors I still have the book from 20 years ago. I intend to share it with my children when they get bigger. Funny,warm,full of fun. Grap a hot cup of tea wrap a warm blanket around yourself and enjoy the family Gilbreth.

Summary: Warm and hilarious -- read it!
Review: Cheaper By the Dozen is a classic in the tradition of the Little House books. The scene where a sly neighbor sends the unsuspecting lady from the Birth Control League to visit is to die for.

Summary: You Must Read This Book!
Review: This book was hilarious! I couldn't put it down. The Gilbreth's book about their childhood, their ten other siblings, and their bizzare yet charming father was surperb. Each chapter was like a short story that was filled with humor. This book was so funny, I laughed aloud.
If you like comedy or you think your family is strange, I hope you read this book. I know you will enjoy it. I hope to read Belles on Their Toes, the sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, soon.

Summary: This book helped shape my career!
Review: I read this book many, many years ago, when I was 10 or 11 (believe me that was long ago). It helped to establish my philosophy of life, that is, to be effecient in all that you do. His humorus approach to common sense and practicability is enlightening. A must for any youngster with a compassion for resourcefullness

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: 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.

Summary: A young adult classic that cries out for rereading
Review: First the confession: I had a role in the Roosevelt Middle School production of Cheaper by the Dozen in 1972. Rereading this young adult classic, I was struck by three things. One was the amount of stagecraft that any parent puts into his parenting, whether conscious or not. To our children, we are larger than life, even when we are embarrassingly insignificant. Two, modern management was invented by ambitious engineers like Frederick Taylor and Frank Gilbreth. And three, the technological changes that happened a hundred years ago were at least as significant as the ones of the last decade. There was one technology that the book mentions that didn't survive the Darwinism of the marketplace. Who knew that you could put whistle on the exhaust pipe of a car, the same way you do on a teakettle?

Summary: Excellent!
Review: "Cheaper by the Dozen" is a book full of warmth, love, admiration, and grief. A warning: this is nothing like the 2003 movie "Cheaper by the Dozen." The only common theme is the 12 children. This story will remind you of your childhood days, if you grew up in a large family, or will remind you of one of your parents (or just make you yearn for a large family). Told in a random autobiographical format, you'll be taken through certain highlights of this family's life. What makes it a bigger treasure is that it is told by two of the Gilbreth children. If you're a fan of "Life with Father," then you'll love this story. It's a snappy read, and one that should be read together by families. The last chapter is sad, and a depressing note to end on. Nonetheless, the entire time you're reading this book, you'll have a smile on your face, and a few laughs. I recommend.
