Helpful Score: 4

This memoir picks up where Cheaper By the Dozen left off. It is Lillian coping with the death of her husband and carrying on both the family tradition and the business. The same whimsical attitude prevails throughout as they cope with growth and maturation and ultimately with success. It is a heartwarming memoir that must be read contiguously with Cheaper By the Dozen. Both are books that I now wish that I had read in high school, or at least after taking a college courses in motion and time study. And I certainly should have read them while teaching college courses in management, as I used the Gilbreths books on motion study as references in the curriculum.
