Summary: Take the audio version along on your next long trip.
Review: My 10 and 11 year old children Quieltly listened to this tape for 6 hours on our last day long drive. My wife and I too found the story very engrossing, funny and a good look at life in the early 1900's.

Summary: A touching, realistic picture of what we all wish to have;
Review: if only for a moment in our lives. I've read this work of love cover to cover over five times. I've seen the movie twice (which, by the way, does it only half justice). If you buy nothing for yourself or child but this book, you will have helped further your/his life education in over a hundred ways. I wish you all could feel the emotions I feel when I read Cheaper By The Dozen, and you can. Take time out of your busy day; you must; to capture your own Cheaper By The Dozen. If only, for a moment.

Summary: one of the best early 20th century biographies ever written
Review: i just finished reading this delightful book by two of the twelve gilbreth children. to be able to put faces and emotions to the Gilbreth family was a pleasant experience. to know that the head of this hilarious household improved the modern keyboard format and typing classes that could "teach anyone in two weeks" and still kept his sense of humor, love of family and wits about him while raising 12 children is heartwarming and endearing. when you read this book youll be whisked away to a time when life was simpler and happier and wish you could experience it.

Summary: Great book,great storys which are very funny
Review: From listening to Italian,French and German records while in the bathroom or 7 children getting Whooping cough on the train across the country,you can always count on the Gilbreths for laughs! I love this book for alot of reasons one of them is I love the dad he is the best! When he wants to have 12 children he does! Which is what makes the humor of this book so funny!!

Summary: Two thumbs up for this book -- way up!
Review: This summer my Mom read me this book. It is really funny and I highly recommend it. At the end it was really sad -- the Dad died. But don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful book. After this book, we started reading the sequel, BELLES ON THEIR TOES. Note from Mom: This is a favorite book from my childhood and I was happy to read it to my child. I was struck, however, with how arcahic much of the language and many of the concepts seem in the nineties, and I was glad to be able to explain them as we went along. (I never noticed this when I read the book in the early 1960's.) Although much about this book seems old fashioned now, the delightful characters transcend all time.

Summary: Some things never change!
Review: I love this book! It doesn't matter if it's the 1990s or 1920s, everyone can relate to the issues of growing up, visiting relatives, dating, etc. I got the book since I am directing a stage version of it. The cast and I have had lots of fun "researching" details of the story. The book is very easy to read without being patronizing. I definitely recommend it to "children" of all ages.

Review: While reading this book you will find how a mother deals with her children in many different ways then thier father. 12 chrildren can be a handful but surely an amuseing one. I read this at the age 11. And have found it one of the funniest books I have read that you never want to put down.

Review: When i got this book for easter I thought it would be dumb. Then I got into it. The two Gilbreth's Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Jr and Ernsteine Gilbreth tell the story in a different order. Read this book if you like sad,happy, mysterious, and great books!
