In celebration of Book It!'s 30th Anniversary they are starting an Alumni and Teachers Program.

All you have to do is go to bookitprogram.com and sign up! Then within 24 hours they will send you a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut! Just like the old days!

Book It! was originally started because a former Pizza Hut president had a song who struggled with reading. He promised his son a trip to Pizza Hut if he kept with it and didn't give up. This gave him the idea that became Book It!

I remember Book It! as a kid and I loved it. We didn't have a lot of extra money growing up so we hardly ever went out to eat. So when I would get that Book It! certificate once a month it meant a trip into town and a night out. As a kid, I didn't think there was any place better than Pizza Hut! (It is still pretty much true to this day.)

I was a pretty avid reader as a kid so I didn't need much incentive to read, but the idea of free pizza definitely kept me motivated.

I suppose if I hunted around my dad's house enough, I probably still have my Book It! buttons somewhere.
