From The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio: The Best Toys, Books, DVDs & Music for Kids, by Joanne and Stephanie Oppenheim.

The book gets updated every year because new toys are introduced, old toys are taken off the market, and safety concerns change. Every time I’ve bought something they’ve recommended, it’s been a successful gift.

I do the illustrations and the layout, correct and format the text, adjust and clean up product photos, and prepare the files and laser proof for the printer. Traditionally it has run to about 300 pages; last year it was cut down to about 200.
