Expanding our Happy Meal Readers Program

In 2018, we announced a new set of global commitments, dedicated to using the company’s Scale for Good.

We are excited that in 2019, more parents and children will have the choice of a book or toy in their Happy Meal they visit McDonald’s through our Happy Meal Readers program*.

How does our Happy Meal Readers program showcase our commitment to reading?

• We believe our scale and ability to provide fun, easy moments for children and families puts us in a unique position to help spread the joy of reading to millions of families around the world, creating truly together moments by making reading fun.
• Our Happy Meal Readers program encompasses our book offerings in markets around the world, supported by markets in a few different ways.
• When books are offered year-round, this means that each time parents and children visit a McDonald’s, they will have a choice between a book or toy in their Happy Meal.
• Digital books will be available through our Global Happy Meal app (Happy Studio / McPlay on iOS and Android) in over 80 markets.

We are proud to help foster a love of books in children and families around the world.
