400 words, approx. 1 pages
[Cheaper by the Dozen] is a boisterous, breezy family chronicle, the true story—the more incredible for being true—of how an inventive and immensely capacious American engineer, Frank Bunker Gilbreth by name, and his game and surprisingly durable wife, Lillian Moller Gilbreth, raised their twelve children and kept unceasingly on the go….

Which, of course, is no fault of the brother-sister authors. As story—as true story&#x...

Frank and Lillian Gilbreth ran their family like an efficient factory by their organization, decision-making, and rewards.
