[PW] Children's book from late 40s or early 50s

[S M Colowick]

Probably a long shot, but there was a 1930s-40s series of books by
Bertha B. Moore that included The Triplets Become Good Neighbors. You
can see a cover at http://www.seriesbooks.com/triplets.htm. I think
there may have been an underlying Christian theme to the series.
