This ebook features an illustrated biography including rare photos from the authors’ estates.Book Cheaper by the Dozen Review :
I'm surprised by how few of the other reviewers found the paterfamilias of this book irritating, as I did. He bloviates [Amazon, this word is marked as misspelled when it is not - please correct your dictionary] at the dinner table, dismissing all other attempts at conversation as "not for general interest." He bellows and honks multiple loud horns when he drives, and he drives so poorly he scares everyone half to death - but no one is allowed to abstain and stay home, because when Father wants to go driving, everyone has to go. He forces the children to run when he whistles no matter what they might have been in the middle of doing (what if someone was stricken with diarrhea when His Master came a-whistlin', or simply in the middle of a good book?). He forces the children to skip grades even if they don't want to or don't feel ready. Physical punishments for simply taking, in Father's eyes, too long to learn something abound, including heads being smacked hard with pencils and bodies being hit with a rope. It's all depicted in a lighthearted manner, but I still see a dictator rather than a "fun" parent. For crying out loud, he admonishes the oldest child, Anne, that he will put the fear of God in her [paraphrasing] because it's her responsibility to keep the younger children from misbehaving while they're out and about on one of those godawful drives that no one except the father enjoys. Even when Anne says desperately that she's trying but that no one's listening to her, he still yells at her. Yeah, he and his wife contributed Great Things(TM) to time & motion studies, but in my opinion, they were awful parents. The second-worst offense was dragging poor Lill on a cross-country train ride 3 weeks after she broke a foot bone (the book doesn't specify which bone). She's described as lying on a couch in the train car, "crying in pain," and her mother is ignoring her as she's trying to feed the also-crying, motion-sickness-blighted baby. No one wants to be dragged on vacation when their foot's injured. The worst offense was making the children have their tonsils removed, including Martha, who has just ingested a great deal of food. Firstly, read that again - the father MADE his children have their tonsils out, not because it was to their benefit, but because he wanted videotape of surgeries being done - and one of the children was full of food when she went under anesthesia. That actually could have killed her; there's a reason why they make you go 12 hours without eating before they put you under. They knew she was full of food, too. They actually dragged her, practically kicking and screaming, from her aunt's house, where she'd been having a lovely time. She made it clear she did not want her tonsils out, as did the other children. What a loving family. And that makes perfect sense, given that time is a scarce resource that has alternative uses. (I am a parent who sometimes reads books that I might have read in my childhood so that I have a list of suitable books to give my sons so that I can save on their time.)First, if you want to read a book like this (a bildungsroman that is composed of childhood memories), then I could recommend at least two others.1. The Great Brain (a series by a Fitzgerald).2. In Gd We Trust, All Others Pay Cash (Jean Shepard).What are the problems with this book?1. I just don't see it interesting to kids today.a. I don't think there is anyone alive in this day and age who lived in the age when people did not have cars. And so, it is *very difficult* to see how someone merely driving a car could draw a huge crowd.b. Who has a reference point for 11 brothers and sister?c. Who can imagine someone giving birth at home?2. There is a lot of antiquated/ clunky language."By jingo?""The horns were Dad's calliope." (p.17)Shillalah (p. 19)Pince-nez glasses (p. 23)Ground gripper shoes (p. 152)4. Factual inaccuracies. (p. 81). Hara-kiri is a Japanese ritual. It has NOTHING to do with the Chinese cook featured here.Third: We all have an interesting relative/ parents. The stories that we could draw from our own memories are better than this series of sometimes-funny-but-mostly-maladroit stories.Verdict: Not recommended.
