Ernestine Gilbreth Carey Knihy

The hilarious, heartwarming classic that inspired the major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox Cheaper by the Dozen with Steve Martin.

Reminiscences of the Gilbreth family. A time-and-motion expert and his engineer wife use scientific principles to raise their twelve children. No growing pains have ever been more hilarious than those suffered loudly by the riotous Gilbreth clan. First there are a dozen red-haired, freckle-faced kids to contend with. Then there's Dad, a famous efficiency expert who believes a family can be run just like a factory. Finally there's Mother, his partner in everything except discipline. "Lighthearted. . . . One of the most amusing books."-- The Chicago Sun "Always entertaining, occasionally hilarious, occasionally touching. . . . Sound Americana."-- The Saturday Review of Literature "Instructive, funny, and very readable."-- School Library Journal Note: This is an illustrated version of the book for an engaging read.

In this warm, wonderful and heartwarming sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, the pleasure continues as the Gilbreths return, a little older, a little wi ser, but no less delightful! Father has passed away, but the antics of this resourceful clan continue unabated.
