This is part of a book that I was involved in annually for 100 years or so (okay, I can’t remember). The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio: The Best Toys, Books, DVDs & Music for Kids, by Joanne and Stephanie Oppenheim, reviewed all those products listed in the title, with no advertising, and with input from families who actually test the toys and everything else.

You may have seen Joanne and Stephanie Oppenheim on the Today show, if you don’t have to be at work so early in the morning.
