Publisher's Synopsis
No growing pains have ever been more hilarious than those suffered loudly by the riotous Gilbreth clan. First there are a dozen red-haired, freckle-faced kids to contend with. Then there's Dad, a famous efficiency expert who believes a family can be run just like a factory. Finally there's Mother, his partner in everything except discipline. The inventive parents found methods of teaching their children everything from ergonomics (the parents' speciality) and morse code and astronomy, with the twelve children providing chaos and wreckage in high spirits. The world's first 'time and motion' expert and his psychologist wife had 12 children. This is their story written by 2 of their children. It's a laugh out loud rollercoaster. 6x9 paperback reprint of the1948 edition.
