So much better than plastic toys.

A toy, but I like the idea of books
Pity though my lids ask for bigger meals

Oh I love the idea of a book – it will last so much more longer.

The toys were always lost or broken within minutes of purchase. I would be much happier for them to include a book in place of a toy.

Yes! And sustainable too rather than the plastic toys

We love books in our house, we read them many, many times.

I think McDonald’s are onto a winner hear. I Love reading with my kids and believe it helps them so much and also is lovely bonding time between a child and carer. My youngest son Joel turn 2 next month and he has only once in his life (last Christmas Day treat) . I would consider buying him a happy meal with nuggets apple bad and water and the book will definitely be our choice as I can then read it to him. We buy our older children McDonald’s maybe 4 times a year max if their lucky. We don’t eat takeaway food as it’s much more filling and cheaper for our family. It’s far to expensive to eat takeaway. My got our kids 2 domins ???? for $10 a few weeks ago on a Friday night and that fed 2 adults and 2 pre teens and Joel has sweet potato mash with chicken and veggies (home cooked meal). I’ve found since cutting back on junk foods and takeaways my kids don’t even want it when offered, they much prefer home cooked meals.

It’s better choice. Last week my son choose the book number 1 then we bought only the book number 2 for his bedtime reading.

Great idea as my daughter doesn’t get the happy meal as she thinks the toys are for babies. So this is a good option for me

Fantastic. And the next step should be to remove the toy as an alternative/option and just have books. Great idea.

This is a great alternative instead of plastic toys

  It is good to have alternatives.
  Toys can be good but books are so wonderful!

We love books and the book option is appealing.

This is awesome

That’s awesome! Those toys are so crap! We don’t have happy meals often since my kids are only 4.5, 4.5 and 2. But on the occasion that we have, we have had the toy break before even leaving the store. And other times they are just so crappy that the kids don’t know what to do with it. Bring back the old school simple figurines. Kids love figurines.
But I think the book initiative is great. We love story time each day.

What a brilliant idea! Finally no more toys I throw out when the kids are at school!

Definitely a better idea than a plastic toy.

Great idea !

I think that a good idea instead of a toy

I remember as a kid loving getting a happy meal to get the toy but then in the late 80/90’s the toys were much better quality. I would chose the book option for my child, as it would last longer than the toy. You can never have too many books.

A good option if it is a full book. It usually never is.
