Five stars from the whole family

This narrative offers something for parents and children alike. I was surprised that even our 4 year old son asks to listen to Cheaper By the Dozen. Entertaining and inspiring!

One of my all time FAVORITES

The story is fabulous and inspiring for me as a parent. The performance is magnificent. I am an avid reader, but this is one book I will ALWAYS listen to rather than read because of the brilliance of the narrator!
