Anne is the oldest child of twelve children in the Gilbreth family. Their father is one of
the great pioneers of industrial efficiency and their mother is a psychologist. To better
improve the organization of his large and delightful family, their father implements his
unorthodox methods of organization that include a chart for the children to initial after
completing their tasks, how to take an efficient bath and appointing a utilities officer to
levy fines on wasters of electricity. The results are embarrassing, funny, and – effective!
For Anne, a high-school girl, it seems more like making them seem ridiculous to
everyone at school – especially the boys! Cheaper by the Dozen depicts the joy and
challenges of raising a large and unique family in early 20 th century America.
