A review by rheren
Cheaper by the Dozen by Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, Frank B. Gilbreth

4.0

This was pretty funny, but parts were painfully dated. I read some whole sentences that not only contained nothing that the kids could relate to, they contained nothing that even I had ever heard of. Occasionally you'd have whole paragraphs about gramaphone records of songs I'd never heard of and colloquial discussions of 1920s fashions and such that I couldn't even translate for the kids because the references were too dated for even me to understand. However, the overall story has many funny aspects to it, and the kids enjoyed some of the wackiness. It was enjoyable overall, but there are parts that haven't aged well.
