McDonald's happy meals book redeem

Firstly I fully support McDonald's swapping the toys to books, I think it's a great idea.


However when I checked the website today you in fact get a token to redeem a book for £1 at whsmiths

I do not have a whsmiths local to me so the fact that my son no longer gets a toy or a book while at his occasional trip to McDonald's, has totally spoilt it for him and me

Why don't they have the books in McDonald's :mad::mad::mad:

    Probably because you have to pay an extra quid for the book. I doubt they want to start selling books in McDonald's.

    Whilst I think this is a fab idea my inner child is gutted that she won't get a toy anymore :(

    I love the odd Happy Meal, just a nice size for me and the toy was always fun. I can't play with books. Boooo!!

    Adult Happy Meals are the way forward Maccys! Are you listening?
    :D
