There’s no feeling as satisfying as cracking open the spine of a new book. This love of course did not grow overnight, it was one that was fostered from a young age with the help of kind librarians and teachers. McDonald’s Canada has apparently recognized the importance of instilling a love of reading from a young age and so are offering books alongside their iconic Happy Meals in lieu of plastic figurines.
From May 16 to July 17, kids will have the choice of grabbing either a toy or a book with their Happy Meal. The launch of these books is the result of McDonald’s partnering with Kids Can Press, a Canadian publisher of both fiction and non-fiction children’s books. The books will be rolled out in sequences, with the first sequence including the choice between either Scaredy Squirrel At the Beach and Hurry Up, Franklin.
