Why read it?
1 author picked Cheaper by the Dozen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I laughed out loud as I joined this family of twelve children on cramped car trips, through childhood pranks, adolescent rebellion, and through the daily joys and growing pains of a loud and loving family. My dad is one of eleven children and reading this book reminds me of many of his stories about growing up.

From M. L.'s list on the quirks and joys of family life.
