Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. First published in 1948, it recounts childhood in the Gilbreth household, where twelve children were raised by parents who were both pioneers in efficiency engineering. The book is not a traditional novel with a single plot but a sequence of connected anecdotes that show how Frank and Lillian Gilbreth applied time and motion study to everyday domestic life. That unusual premise gives the memoir its identity: it combines humor, family history, and early 20th century industrial thinking in a domestic setting. At the same time, it is also a portrait of a large, tightly organized family shaped by discipline, experimentation, education, and affection. Its purpose is both entertaining and reflective, showing how an unconventional household functioned and how the children later remembered it.
