Inspiring reluctant readers in English and te reo Māori
The Book that Wouldn't Read / Te Pukapuka ka Kore e Pānuihia by Tim Tipene Illustrated by Nicoletta Benella Translated by Kanapu Rangitauira Setting out to attract the sort of reluctant reader he used to be, author and youth counsellor Tim Tipene happened upon a neat idea: a book that takes over and effectively reads itself!
