Why Happy Hollisters Bundles Make Wonderful Birthday Gifts

If you’re looking for a great mystery series for kids, then there’s no reason to look any further than The Happy Hollisters. Written by children’s author Andrew Svenson under the pen name Jerry West, this classic series has delighted and intrigued children and for several decades. The books are available individually, through the subscription-based Happy Hollisters Book Club, and in specially curated bundle sets.

To make shopping a little bit easier, we’ve put together several Happy Hollisters bundles ranging from just a few books all the way up to the entire collection. Here are just a few reasons why these bundles make absolutely wonderful gifts for birthdays:

Great Way to Get Them Started

There are several different Happy Hollisters bundles available that range from starter sets with just three books to an entire collection with 33 books. No matter which you choose, this is a great way to get your kids started on their joy of reading. It won’t take them long before they’re absolutely hooked on the amazing adventures of the Hollister family.

Kids Absolutely Love Mysteries

Kids love all types of stories, but mysteries are definitely among their favorites. Since each Happy Hollisters story involves children of a variety of ages, it’s very easy for readers to connect with the characters and become wrapped up in each story. They’ll be able to follow along with the clues and will have a blast trying to solve the mystery before the end of the book.

Engages Problem-Solving Skills

Problem-solving is an essential skill. The more your children are exposed to mysteries and problems, the better off they’ll be as they navigate school, social relationships, careers, etc. Each Happy Hollisters adventure includes problem-solving as a mystery is introduced and then unfolds before your child’s very eyes. Reading this amazing series of books is one of the best ways to improve this very important skill.

Will Improve a Child’s Vocabulary

If you want your child to succeed, it is a good idea to offer them opportunities to improve their vocabulary every chance they get. The Happy Hollisters bundles will expose them to words and concepts that they’ve never seen before. You can then help them understand some of this new vocabulary, which they can use to improve their own language and communication skills.

Introduces Kids to New Cultures

There are many incredible cultures around the world, but kids aren’t always exposed to them on a regular basis. The Happy Hollisters books not only involve stories across the United States, but often take the reader to faraway places around the globe. With an introduction to unfamiliar cultures through their friends, The Happy Hollisters, young readers gain a better understanding of the people they may come in contact throughout their lives.

Teaches Them Good Family Values

The Happy Hollisters prides itself on promoting healthy family values. The Hollister children are very respectful of their parents and engage with them on a regular basis as they attempt to solve each mystery. Some values are specifically focused on while others are introduced a bit more subtly. As your child goes through each story, you can discuss each of these values so that he or she understands why they’re so important.
