If you find yourself running through the drive-through at McDonald's this week, young bookworms will find a fun surprise in their Happy Meals. Through Feb. 15, all McDonald's locations in central Arkansas and across the United States will distribute petite paperbacks that are specially made to fit into Happy Meals!

Kids will receive one of four books:

  • "Paddington" by Michael Bond and illustrated by R. W. Alley
  • "Clark the Shark Takes Heart" by Bruce Hale and illustrated by Guy Francis
  • “Happy Valentine’s Day, Mouse!” by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond
  • “Pete the Cat: Valentine’s Day Is Cool” by Kimberly and James Dean


More than 17 million books will be distributed in the Happy Meals. Plus, McDonald's has partnered with the literacy nonprofit, Reading is Fundamental, for the promotion and will donate 100,000 books to the organization.
