“A touching family portrait that also happens to be very, very funny. . . its appeal is timeless.” –Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post
One of the best-loved American memoirs of an oversized family and the parents who held them together – now a Disney+ movie starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff.
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.
Translated into more than fifty-three languages and made into numerous films over the years — including a classic film starring Myrna Loy and a cult favorite with Steve Martin, Hilary Duff, and Alyson Stoner — this memoir is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the twentieth century.
