No growing pains have ever been more hilarious than those suffered loudly by the riotous Gilbreth clan. First, there are a dozen red-haired, freckle-faced kids to contend with. Then there's Dad, a famous efficiency expert who believes a family can be run just like a factory. And there's Mother, his partner in everything except discipline. How they all survive such escapades as forgetting Frank, Jr., in a roadside restaurant or going on a first date with Dad in the backseat or having their tonsils removed en masse will keep you in stitches. You can be sure they're not only cheaper, they're funnier by the dozen.

      The adventures of the Gilbreth family continue to be classic and enduring stories of family life at the turn of the twentieth century. Dana Ivey reads all narration and dialogue at a brisk, steady clip keeping the story line moving. Her vocal styles differ for males, females or children, adequately separating character types, but not individuals. Ivey dramatizes the episodes by adding appropriate emotional inflections, especially for the children. Sections of the tape offer bits of music enhancing the narrative with accompaniment appropriate for the turn-of-the-century era. Listeners will enjoy this entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable reading. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
