This letter was sent to 230 children’s museums around the country by Beth Fitzgerald,
President of The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum. The Magic House is the #1
rated National Attraction for child appeal by Zagat Survey.
I would like to introduce a wonderful and informative book that provides valuable information
about a child’s first six years: Milestones and More by Penny Pohrer Schneithorst.
Here at The Magic House, we know that the first step to having healthy and well-educated
children is good parenting. At children’s museums around the country it is important to
educate parents about essential parenting skills. This book is a perfect addition to any children’
s museum gift shop; in fact, we have it in ours! With thousands of new parents coming
through your doors every day, this book is a great way to reach them and help answer their
many questions.
Milestones and More touches on gross and fine motor skills, social skills and other important
stages in a child’s development, mapping out each stage by age. It offers solutions to all the
common parenting questions in one convenient, easy-to-navigate, comprehensive resource.
Penny Schneithorst is a mother of four who understands and supports the value of children’s
museums. She brings years of experience and extensive research to Milestones and More.
With an Honorable Mention from Writer’s Digest International Self-Published Book Awards,
Milestones and More is a great addition to your museum, library or gift shop.
“Milestones and More” is FANTASTIC! My wife and I read it immediately and we both agreed that
it’s the best baby book of its kind that we’ve seen.”

“Thank you for your book. I never seem to run out of questions so it is perfect for a mom of …
soon-to-be…
two kids.”
Brooke Shields, Actress, Mother-of-two
“I just want to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the book! I am a mother to teenagers and now a
mother again to a 1 year old. I bought the book for myself because I kept searching for answers
on when I could expect my baby to do certain things. Your book has everything in a nice,
organized, beautifully illustrated book. I read about hand, foot and mouth disease for the first
time in your book after my daughter came home from daycare with it. I keep notes in each
section about things I want to remember and write down dates next to the milestones as my
daughter reaches them. I also keep track of all of her doctor’s appointments, diagnosis,
medications given, height, weight and immunizations. I think it is nicer than a traditional baby
book because it has so much information in one book! I plan to buy one for any girlfriends who
have babies! Thanks again and I wish you luck on your endeavor!!

“We only carry the best books and “Milestones and More”
is THE BEST! I was so surprised when I found out it is
self-published because it is very well done and nicer than
any published book that I have ever seen!”
Richard Kennison, Manager of a high-end bookstore in
St. Charles, Missouri and father of six children
“I did not know this book was written by an Occupational Therapist like me until I met the
author. I checked over all of the information myself and it is perfectly accurate”.
Jenny Bickel, Occupational Therapist and first-time mother,
St. Louis, MO
“I use the book every day to check my children’s development!”
Kristin Kovacs, mother-of-two, St. Louis, MO
“Milestones and More” is such a beautiful book! I only wish I had it when my kids were in this
age range!!”

People Magazine and People Extra
“ I love my book I ordered. I just looked at it the other night. I thought it was great-especially
because my son has been right on target with the milestones. I would love to have an addition
to the book-I hope you’ll keep me posted!! Thank you so much for writing the book-I think it
kept me sane too!!”
