Children's Book Award Winners

The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio is an independent consumer review of children's media which tries to do the type of thorough screening most parents wish they could do before they buy. Many companies submit their material for consideration all year long. Books are then kid tested and finally selected by experts based on child enthusiasm, appropriateness and many other factors. 

To help with your search for the most appropriate children's books, below are links to some purchasing locations for the most recent Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award winners. You may find these or similar options by searching through one or more of our Partner Book Retailers or other online outlets.
