FROM THE COVER:
One of the best-loved American memoirs--the classic story of an oversized family and the parents who held them together.

What do you get when you put twelve lively kids together with a father--a famous efficiency expert--who believes families can run like factories, and a mother who is his partner in everything except discipline? You get a hilarious tale of growing up that has made generations of kids and adults alike laugh along with the Gilbreths in Cheaper By The Dozen . . . [It] is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the twentieth century.
