[QUOTE="SRL, post: 24894, member: 701"] Personally I think it's a big stink being made over nothing. Kids read books and get a pizza. Kids who love books would have read them anyway. Kids who wouldn't have read them might have been motivated due to the pizza. A personal pan pizza and a soda four times a year isn't my idea of child gluttony. My kids love BookIt. I often pick them up and take them to Pizza Hut and have lunch with them one on one. Or every once in a while my husband will pick up their pizza and eat with them at school. If they're going to ban BookIt then they might as well put a stop to all of the summer library reading programs that are being conducted all over the country as well. My kids (gasp!) get coupons for things like ice cream cones, a donut, and a personal pizza from another pizza place in addition to some for activities in the community. I don't care what the motivator is--they usually get some benefit from the reading they did and we get some free fun family times together as a result. [/QUOTE]
