The Main Character
The main character in "Cheaper by the Dozen" is the dad, Frank Gilbreth. One of the physical qualities that he has is a mustache. He loves to wear hats and is always telling his kids how important it is to eat healthy. I think he is in his 40's. Some of the personality traits he has are funny, caring, and hard-working.

Poem
Cheaper by the Dozen
What if all these kids were my cousins?
It would be crazy,
but we wouldnt be lazy,
If I had twelve cousins.
A Different Ending
"I have great news!" Dad exclaimed. "What?" said mom looking up from dinner, annoying. "We got the right numbers!" Dad said happily. "What numbers, dad?" asked Ernestine. "The lottery! We won!" Dad practically screamed. The kids jumped up. "We're rich!" they all yelled.
My Favorite Part
My favorite part of ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ is when the family goes to California. In California, they have a lot of fun at Mom's family’s house. I think it was a funny part of the book because the kids have to go to a fancy dinner, but they decide to jump in a sprinkler and get their nice clothes all wet before they go.
Opinion
If I was to rate this book, I would give it five stars. It will make your day, and make you laugh all the way! It is a great book about family and the good times family has. It is sure to put a smile on your face! Go out and read this novel, you will not regret it!
