BOOK IT!
Posted: June 6th, 2012 | Tags: Uncategorized | Comments Off on BOOK IT!from karen russell’s really excellent new yorker piece about reading as a kid:
In the early nineties, Pizza Hut sponsors Book It!, to promote reading. For every ten books you read, you get a certificate for a free, one-topping pizza. At the end of each month, you come home from Mrs. Sicius’s fifth-grade class and slam down the Book It! certificate in front of your parents like a hunter dropping a deer carcass on the kitchen table. Book that, Family! We are eating tonight!
