Summary: Don't underestimate me because I'm a kid...
Review: I've read the reviews for Cheaper By The Dozen, and no offense, but I think they're really boring and lame. Too grown-up. Of course, you guys ARE grown-ups, but still. Cheaper By The Dozen's my favorite book in the whole wide world.... Two words: Great book. Funny, yet serious, yet sad. It takes REAL writers to make something like it. It's like they made a concoction: a cup of funny, a pint of serious, and just a drop of sad. I've read this book so many times, it's scary. Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr., and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey lead us through this book with Daddy and Mommy Gilbreth and their twelve ducklings. Trust me, you'll love this book.
P.S. Wanna say, "Hi," or "Your review is bogus"...

Summary: A wonderful book for the entire family.
Review: I first read this book at the age of 9. I read it so much in the following years that the pages began falling out and eventually had to throw it away. Whether you are 9 or 90, I think you will find this an enjoyable story about a family who lived when life was simpler. They may not have had much money but they more than made up for it with love and laughter.

Summary: Hilarious, wholesome novel
Review: Cheaper by the dozen was a funny book about a family that had 12 children: 6 boys 6 girls. Set in the early 1900's, it is written by two of the children. My wife and I laughed on a regular basis as I read it to her. I guess the reason it was so funny is because we could see the stuff happening in our family. Although there is an occasional profanity (thus I won't let my children read it until they are older), it is ONLY occassionally. Some of the ideas that the father had I have implemented in my family. Although seemingly written for younger readers, it is enjoyable for adults (probably more so for adults).

Summary: Great story, wittily written...
Review: In this day and age of 1.3 child-households and perfectionistic yuppie parents, it was refreshing to discover "Cheaper by the Dozen." With 12 children, the Galbraith family is a delightful bedlam. The parents are both well-educated, strongly-opinionated individuals and through out the book we see Mr. Galbraith's great respect and admiration for his wife. They raise their children in unusual but thoughtful and amusing ways... painting a huge mural depicting the solar system on the walls of their summer house, teaching their 4 year-olds how to do long-division in their heads at the dinner table, insisting that the nannies speak to the babies in French and German. It is such a pleasure to read about people who have strong convictions and follow their own good judgement. The Galbraiths seem to have been just such a family. Even better, their story is written in a compelling, amusing and touching fashion. By all means, by "Cheaper by the Dozen" and share it with someone you love.

Summary: A really good book.
Review: This is a really good book. I have had the same copy since I was 11 yeas old and I am now 24. I have the hardcover edition first printing in 1948. The only problem with it is that it skips around one chapter will be when the children are older and the next seems like it is from a few yeas before. It is about a family of 12 children the father is an effencicy expert and the mother a psycologist. There are six boys and six girls. it is fun to read about their adventures and the way their father taught them. The book ends when the father dies. I have never read the second book "With belles on their toes" but I would like to. --sorry about the spelling.

Summary: cheaper by the dozen
Review: I really liked this book cause if i ever had that many kids i might go crazy. HAHA! well I read it about a year ago and couldn't put it down till I was finished it ended really weird but the kids who wrote were acutally writing it from their memories, friends, and relatives. I know Frank was only about 8 years old when the story started and when his dad died he was 10 years. I really recomand this book to any kid in the high school grade level cause it will have alot of hard words for the younger kids.

Summary: A Very Interesting Book
Review: I thought this book was a good book to read. I also learned not to judge a book by its cover cause it is much better than you would think by just looking at it. I recommend this book to those who love to read and would enjoy a book about the lives of 12 young children and two hardworking parents living i the same household. I also recommend this book to people who would enjoy a good joke once in a while since Mr. Gilbreth was a very funny person. If you read this book I'm sure you'll agree.

Summary: Entertainment for All
Review: My mother read this book aloud to my three siblings and I on a long road trip, and we loved it! Even my dad, doing the driving, asked to read "one more chapter" when her voice started to crack. You will not regret purchasing this book, and its sequel Belles on Their Toes is equally wonderful. Happy Reading!
