Happy Readers®

Unwind with your little one and enjoy our exciting collection of World Book Day® activities.

At McDonald’s we believe one book can change everything; it can ignite a life-long love of reading and has the power to foster imagination, unlock creativity and expand knowledge.

That’s why since 2013, we’ve provided over 160 million books for kids across the UK and Ireland through our Happy Readers® programme.
