The feature I find annoying is that you cannot back log says more than about a week. So if you forget to log days for longer than that, oh well! The child’s efforts only count if You remember to log them in time. Sounds simple but with so many things in the mind of a modern mother, it’s easy to get behind in logging book it days ### 5/5 — The Original Childhood Hustle! *2026-08-04, version 3.6.6* The Book It! button from Pizza Hut wasn’t just a reading program it was basically the original childhood hustle economy. Forget “reading for personal growth.” We were out here speed-running Charlotte’s Web whilst ignoring the extremely sad details of the book. Now I’m watching my granddaughter start her own Book It! journey, and I’m getting hit with full-body flashbacks of strutting into Pizza Hut like I’d just returned from war… except the only thing I conquered was a few Nancy Drew books and my reward was a single personal pan pizza and a suspicious amount of pride. ### 5/5 — Love this program! *2026-08-03, version 3.6.6* My 7 year old grandchild was thrilled to earn her own pizza by reading. This is a great reward and we thank Pizza Hut. ### 5/5 — Awesome program and app *2026-08-02, version 3.6.6* My kids have loved it!!! ### 4/5 — Great Way to Encourage Summer Reading! *2026-08-02, version 3.6.6* Easy to use app. I would just appreciate being able to put in days of reading farther back than when we forget! ### 5/5 — Read *2026-08-01, version 3.6.6* I love reading and pizza! 🎉👍😁🍕 ### 5/5 — Pizza Made Reading Fun *2026-08-01, version 3.6.6* This was a GREAT way to make reading fun for my 9 year old!

He liked the pizza song a lot. ### 5/5 — Kids love it *2026-07-24, version 3.6.6* It actually encouraged my kids to keep on reading during the school break and also during the school year. I do sometimes forget to check it because I’m a bit more busier. Sometimes it takes me up for more than 2 week, and I cannot retract to those days but all in all. It’s a good app. Definitely recommend it. The prize is a lil pizza😍! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-20, version 3.6.6* Very easy to use and keep kids motivated to read ### 5/5 — Great program *2026-07-19, version 3.6.6* Easy to use app and fun program.
