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.

Summary: A brilliant work of the Gilbreth children!
Review: This book shows a firsthand account of the wonderous life of an extremely large family. Around that era and before then, large families like the Gilbreth's was not as unusual as you may think. But not many had the unique upbrining of motion studiers. The information that Mr. Gilbreth conveyed to his very lucky children made their lives complete. And may I commend Mrs. Gilbreth, on her liveliness and spirit, and all the energy she had to have to raise 11 children all alone (with alltile help from Tom of course!) And the way all the children managed so well to economize and forfeit some of their pleasures for each other shows strong character and love to the roots. Any good writer could make up a story like this one, but what gives this one charm and shine is the reality of it all. These things really happened! It is amzing to witness the love and adventure of the Gilbreth house.

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: I got this book as a gift and I'm really glad because it is one of the best gifts I have got so far. This book depicts the way how a big family can make their daily life more interesting. They enjoy their holidays together by playing fun and interesting games. And the stress on efficiency somehow urges people like us to be more productive. Well.....in simple English, I would say that this is a book that is worth reading not once.....but as many times as you want.

Summary: It was a great book, shows the "real story" of growing up
Review: This book was really great. I read it my Language Arts class. I really loved the book. It was true but at the same time it was very humorous. It really appealed to my sense of taste. It shows the toils of growing up in a large family, and the natural toils of life. I would reccomend this book to any one that enjoys reading!!!

Summary: We read it as a class and liked it
Review: It was really entertaining. It was interesting because the family had twelve children. I liked that two of the children wrote the book. It was educational. We could see what different ways the father made his kids learn. We learned some math tricks by reading this.

Summary: Didn't appeal to me
Review: I'm more into a different genre than this book. I thought it was really really boring. It probably didn't appeal to me because I don't have 11 siblings or 12 children and because it was set at a totally different time than I can relate to. Hardly anyone anymore has 12 kids! I thought that the parents had good intentions for having a big family, but to put that kind of pressure on them to skip school and hope that your younger sibling didn't skip to your grade wasn't the best idea.

Summary: An absolutely wonderful tale!
Review: This story about the childhoods of the Gilbreth children holds a special meaning to me, because my dad has 12 in his family, too. It kind of tells me what it might have been like, how crazy it would've been! Thanks.
