Belles on Their Toes

<p><strong>From start to finish it is a reading joy.</strong> --<strong><em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong></p><p><strong>The warm wonderful and entertaining sequel to the hit classic <em>Cheaper By the Dozen</em>.</strong></p><p>Life is very different now in the rambling Gilbreth house. When the youngest of the family was two and the oldest was eighteen Lillian Gilbreth's husband and the patriarch of the family Frank Gilbreth Sr. died so she 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 overcoming chicken pox giving the boot to an unwelcome boyfriend battling the rampant sexism plaguing Lillian's engineering workplace 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.</p>
