Cheaper By The Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. And Ernestine Gilbreth Carey

This one had my entire family in stitches. Frank Bunker Gilbreth is a Time and Motion Efficiency Expert and where better to practice his ideas than on his twelve children? He himself is a bit bonkers (my word of the week right now) and comes up with ingenious ways to enhance his kids’ lives without taking much time up. There are record players in the bathrooms to teach languages, touch type charts that get even the littlest Gilbreth touch typing in no time and spirited discussions over the dinner table. Each chapter is full of funny goings-on and unusual action that even the youngest should get a giggle out of!
