Book Review: Cheaper by the Dozen
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is abut 2 parents that have 12 kids and how they raise them. The father is a motion study person. And the mother is a philologist. The parents a re from two differ types of back rounds. The mother is from a rich spoiled type of family. And the father is from a not rich not poor family. And the kids don't have allowances but they earn the money. I will not tell you how they get it, that is for you to find out. The book is also about how a family has a tough time in a new place. I personally would recommend this book to a friend. It is funny, sad a bit. Over all it is a totally good book.Book Review: Cheaper by the Dozen

Reading this book will definately remind you of families and your own family. So if your ready for some laughs read Cheaper by the Dozen.

Summary: 2 Stars
I loved this movie as a child and thought my six year old and I would listen to the book on cassette. I was not prepared, nor did I remember, the use of language in the movie. The third time I heard the Lord's name taken in vain, I turned the cassette off. I am going to buy the book and read it to my son, skipping those parts. I guess when I watched the movie (many moons ago) that language was not allowed on television and therefore we were not subjected to it. I was very disappointed in the book on tape. The story is wonderful. The authors (two of the children) could have alluded to the language without repeating it. I rate it two stars because of this.
