Dell Yearling

Imagine it! Twelve kids - six girls and six boys - in the same house. Chaos! Well, not quite. At the head of the Gilbreth clan is father Gilbreth, a rather bulky, often loud, efficiency expert who advises businesses on how they can save time and money. When he tries to apply his business techniques to his own family, hilarity - lots of it - ensues. This charming memoir of a large and loving family - written by two of the twelve Gilbreths - is a priceless piece of early 20th-century Americana. Kit contents: paperback book, 4 audio cassettes.
