Happy Hollisters

I have not yet had the opportunity to study up on the Happy Hollisters, so the information here is provided by Douglas Holmes. The books were written by Jerry West and illustrated by Helen S. Hamilton. The 33 titles were published between 1953 and 1966 (for 30 - Mystery of the Golden Witch) by Doubleday and Company Inc.

Characters

(description adapted from a back cover)

Pete
the oldest sibling at 12, Pete is a study boy with sparkling blue eyes and blond, crew cut hair. His love for sports is shared by his sister Pam.
Pam
next in line at 10, Pam, whose real name is Pamela, has brown eyes and fluffy golden hair. She
is kind to everyone and loves animals, especially their puppy collie dog.
Zip
the young collie Pam adopted, this faithful pet is always on the go.
Ricky
a seven-year-old package of perpetual motion. Lanky RICKY has reddish hair, which is usually mussed, and a turned-up nose splattered with freckles. He is full of fun and sometimes teases his sister Holly.
Holly
six-year-old sister with tomboy ways can take Ricky's teasing and even give it back. In fact she looks a lot like Ricky, except that she has dancing brown eyes and dark hair, which she wears in pigtails. Holly's chief delight is her cat, White Nose.
White Nose
Holly's favorite pet, White Nose is usually carried under Holly's arm like a fluffy purse. She has five kittens, who are often cuddled by Little Sue.
Little Sue Hollister
the baby of the family at four, dark-haired Sue romps in all the fun which the Hollister family enjoys day in and day out.
Mrs. Hollister
the mother is always ready to meet any sudden need - for a surprise picnic or a helping hand.
Mr. Hollister
the father owns the Trading Post, a combination hardware, sports and toy shop. He is never too busy to play ball. And best of all, he likes to take his family on exciting adventures.
