About this audiobook

Count 'em–a dozen carrot topped, freckle-faced kids. Dad, a jovial optimist, successful inventor and efficiency expert is fond of doing his work at home. Mom, a psychologist, is busy putting everything she knows into practice.

Listen along and discover the strange things that happen when Dad's experiments run awry…how Frank Jr. gets left behind at a roadside restaurant…how the whole clan has their tonsils out en masse…experience a first date with Dad in the backseat, or treeing a peeping Tom...You can be sure they're not only cheaper, they're funnier by the dozen.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic book. it's been a staple in our house for approximately 15 years, we've quoted it and memorized it, referenced and re read countless times. This version particularly read by Dana Ivey is peerless. 10/10 will always recommend, and will always return. It was so good to listen again and to bring back all those memories...

This book is funny, heartwarming, and very enjoyable!

Good book to listen to!
