How many kids are in the pickwell family

The Pickwells have eleven children.

So, from the dump, from the creek, from the tracks, from Red Hill -- in ran the Pickwell kids for dinner, all ten of them. Add to that the parents, baby Didi, Grandmother and Grandfather Pickwell, Great- grandfather Pickwell, and a down-and-out taxi driver whom Mr. Pickwell was helping out (the Pickwells were always helping out somebody)-- ail that, and you had what Mrs. Pickwell called her "small nation."
