*A companion site to The Gilbreth Network On Line

Welcome! I've created this site for students, teachers, and Gilbreth fans because of the ongoing interest in "Cheaper" and "Belles" expressed at the Gilbreth Network On Line.

While the Gilbreth Network is the most comprehensive web destination for information about the lives and work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, here you will find more information specifically about the famous Gilbreth books and their stage and film adaptations.

NEWS FLASH: The Cable TV ChannelAmerican Movie Classics has been showing the movie Cheaper by the Dozen frequently lately. To see when it will air next, go to their web site and type in the movie title to see if it is scheduled to air in the near future. You can do this to search for any "classic" movie you might be looking for too....like "Belles on their Toes!"
