Cheaper by the Dozen [By] Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr.… Tekijä: Frank Jr Gilbreth
AR: 6.0
A teacher read this to us in, probably, the fifth grade. I might have reread it later on my own. It might have been the first grown-up book I was exposed to.
This was just fun. I remember watching the old, old movie as a child, and the book had me laughing out loud just like the movie did.
