Summary: Cheaper by the Dozen
Review: Cheaper by the Dozen is probably one of the most exciting biographies I have ever read. It is about a dozen children who are raised in the 1910's-1920's by two "motion study" loving parents, who have them do some pretty strange things, such as: listen to French and German language lessons while taking baths, give sealed bids when asking for a job, and initial work charts. The book is full of humor that keeps the reader interested. If you're in for a humorous biography, this is the book for you.

Summary: Highly entertaining and informative
Review: As far as biographies go this is a great one - never dull, highly amusing anecdotes and is still obviously accurate. Has the rare quality of making you laugh while still maintaining huge respect for the work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. A "must read"!

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.
