...was one of my favorite books as a kid. I read it over and over again, especially during summer vacations at my grandparents' house. I think that book, along with its sequel Belles on their Toes, a collected Louisa May Alcott, and a collected Mark Twain, made up the "appropriate for kids" library in the old farmhouse we used to move into for the month of August. So I was saddened to learn today that Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, co-author of the books and daughter of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, had died last week.
Don't watch the movie(s). Read the book.

A favorite book of mine, too. It always struck me that the real hero was Lilian Gilbreth...
ReplyDeleteAnd I still use Frank Gilbreth's suggestions on how to take a quick and thorough shower.... Start at the top and work down!
