abkc1987 's review for:
Cheaper by the Dozen
by Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, Frank B. Gilbreth
This is the perfect book to read during a long car ride with your parents on a road trip. As much as I love Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, the movie was just like the book justice, especially with Frank's (the father's) character.
This book was much more than a cute story about a large family. Frank loved precision and efficiency, and found so many ways to help his family operate in top form. He's super quirky. He was a dad that might embarrass you on occasion, but he lit up a room and was the life of the party.
The best scene is late in the book and has to do with the junior high aged kids finding a love note in a drawer, memorizing it, and singing it in three part harmony the next time their sister's beau comes over. I would highly recommend to anyone!!!
