Belles on Their Toes

This book is the sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, the story of the Gilbreth family. It is co-authored by two of the eleven children, Frank, Jr. and Ernestine. Their father was a time management expert and used his skills for the efficient, and often funny, ways of running a house full of thirteen distinct individuals. In 1924 he passed and his wife Lillian became the primary breadwinner. This is the story of how she managed the business and guiding her children individually through adolescence. She became one of the foremost management engineers in the world.
