Book Reviews of Belles on Their Toes
Book Review: Do YOU have a big family? If you do read this!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book continues the true story of the Gilbreth children or the sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen.
The story continues after the father died. The mother is now the soul supporter of her family. There is a graet saying in the book that says,"Mother wasn't afraid anymore because the worst had happend."
The mother carried on her husbands works. She held conferences and taught the scince of time saving. She became a very strong woman.
It was a long hard haul but ahe successfully continued her husbands work. The children successfully ran the household.
This story is humorus and very touching. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Book Review: A great sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this as much as 'Cheaper by the Dozen', the first book by this sister-brother team. I loved that this book featured a strong mother who held things together after the passing of her husband...and became a strong career-woman herself. I think that this type of story is often missing from our libraries of historical classics, but of course these kinds of stories are as much (if not more) a part of our history as other classics we have all read.Book Review: Great Sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book a couple years after I came across the first one as a teenager. It's a good continuation of the story and lets you know what happened, and how this amazing family all chipped in to make things work after their terrible tragedy.Book Review: The Gilbreth Story continues
Summary: 4 Stars
Not as entertaining as the first installment of "Cheaper by the Dozen", but still an enjoyable read.
This is the continuing story of the Gilbreth family after Mr Gilbreth's death. This book focuses on the mother and how she manages her career, all the while continuing to be a patient, loving role model for her eleven children.
A story from from a different era, but with inspiration for the modern women.
