Let's Eat Out! is a charmingly illustrated children's book published by Melmont Publishers, Inc. in 1965 to celebrate McDonald's 10th anniversary. You can read the whole book at And Everything Else Too. In the story, an American boy's family treats his German friend to the "American treat" of hamburgers and fries and they marvel at the American practice of mass-production. It ends with a history lesson on the hamburger's multi-cultural origins.

...Not the most compelling children's story, but it's a promotional book after all.

The book was written by John Jones and illustrated by Herb Ruub.
