Cheaper by the Dozen (Perennial Classics) (Paperback)
by Frank B. Gilbreth, Ernestine Gilbreth Carey
ISBN: 006008460X

Price: USD 7.79
220 used & new available from USD 0.10

This is the story of motion-study pioneer Frank Gilbreth. He and his wife decide to have a dozen children and actually do it. Then hilarity ensues as Mr. Gilbreth applies his factory-efficiency job to raising a family.

Written by two of Frank Gilbreth’s children, Cheaper by the Dozen is meant to be the true story of the life of their father. I don’t know if they made anything up for the book, but it’s certainly a lot of fun to follow the Gilbreth family through life in America during the early 1900s.
