Book Reviews of Cheaper by the Dozen (Perennial Classics)
Book Review: hugely entertaining autobiography ofa family in motion study
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in the early part of 20th century this autobiography details in amusing anecdotal style the unusual upbringing undergone by a family of 12 children on the East coast of America. As the title indicates, it is the aim of their eccentric parents that no time or motion should be wasted such that, for example, their education includes learning morse code by reading it on the ceiling, the walls and being unable to complete normal everyday activities unless translation can be accomplished. This book is written with old world charm, understated humour and real affection. It is a book to feel good about and look forward to reading again and again.
