Justin will host this year’s event by reading his favorite childhood book, Dr. Seuss’s classic, The Cat in the Hat. Last year, approximately 215,000 people joined the webcast, setting a new record for the event. Pizza Hut is challenging classrooms and families across America to join the 2011 event and if total attendance surpasses last year’s attendance record, then BOOK IT®! will donate $25,000 to the Pencils of Promise charity. Supported by Justin, Pencils of Promise is a global movement that partners with local communities to build schools in the developing world.
