Description

Life is very different now in the rambling Gilbreth house.When the youngest was two and the oldest eighteen, Dad died and Mother bravely took over his business. Now, to keep the family together, everyone has to pitch in and pinch pennies. The resourceful clan rises to every crisis with a marvelous sense of fun -- whether it's battling chicken pox, giving the boot to an unwelcome boyfriend, or even meeting the President. And the few distasteful things they can't overcome -- like castor oil -- they swallow with good humor and good grace. *Belles on Their Toes* is a warm, wonderful, and entertaining sequel to *Cheaper by the Dozen*.

Description

Follows the life and career of Lillian Moller Gilbreth after her husband dies in 1924 and she takes over his motion study work and continues to raise their eleven children.
