A review by saram84
Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr.
3.0
The authors Frank and Ernestine are two of the older siblings in the dozen of kids in the Gilbreth family. This memoir tells many stories about what it was like to live a chaotic life with a huge family. The stories range from leaving a child at a restaurant, looks and comments they received from strangers, and how the household managed with so many kids. The book overall is mostly lighthearted and tells the adventures of the family as the kids go through school and grow up.
I was probably not the ideal reader for this book. I feel most readers who had a huge family will find similarities and identify with the characters. Another friendly note, the book is nothing like the films that were created. I somewhat prefer the movies. This will probably go into the free little library near my house for someone else to enjoy.
