If you saw the movie, it ain't
nothin like the book!!! " Cheaper by the Dozen" was alot different than
the movie , although they did have some similarities. Such as in both the
family had twelve children. Unlike in the movie, the parents in the
book were motion study fanatics. In the movie, the dad was a foofball coach
and the mother was a stay-at-home-mom-turned author.In both the familly
had problems they needed to sort out. To find out what sort of problems,
read the book. (Nadia Smith, nadiahcms2009@yahoo.com,

This book is about a family
of twelve kids who are organized by a militaristic father who believes
that a family can be run just like a factory or the army. He organizes
the family so it moves swiftly and efficiently. The kids are very polite
whenever company is over, but it is chaos that rules when they have no
company over. The family runs smoothly until there father dies of a heart
attack. Then the mother takes control over the family and governs more
strictly than she normally had. This is a good book for those people who
like a bit of comedy mixed in with their nonfiction. (Thomas H. Grimes,
