I read them at school in the early 90s when I was very young, but have no real idea when it would have been published. There were many books in the series, all illustrated, and centred around a group of children. The books were themed. I distinctly remember one about Diwali, since one of the children was Indian. One of the books may have featured a Victorian theme, but I can't say with certainty. In general, the books were educational but fun and adventurous. I think there might have also been a dog.

Sorry about that, I thought I was posting in Unsolved but I was on mobile and must have done something wrong. Thank you!

It's not Wishbone. I'm not too familiar with that series, but it looks like it could be for older children. The series I'm looking for is a collection of picture books. Bright illustrations, not too long, etc. I wish I had more to go on. The book that I remember most clearest is the Diwali one I mentioned before. The illustrations depicted lights and I seem to recall a street (or house?) decorated with lanterns.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately none of those look familiar. I fear the books may be obscure and out of print, or I'm not remembering them correctly.

What images appeared on the covers?
Solved! I stumbled on the answer from a buzzfeed article of all places. It's the 'Magic Key' series by Roderick Hunt.
