“Impatient but so sweet! How can anyone resist Archie?”

– Mumsnet.com

"...The new book by Tracey Corderoy and Tim Warnes is inventive, funny and, of course, highly educational. The illustrations are incredibly powerful, bringing every moment of the story to life and leaving a lasting impression on children’s memories..."

"...I have a little boy who sometimes has absolutely no patience at all... And this book came just at the right time... to talk about it in the sweetest way..."

"...The delightful story of this family of rhinos teaches us all lessons in empathy. And Archie’s parents, through their own attitude and patience, show us the best way for a child to learn: by following our example..."

“By reading this story, our children will see that sometimes it is worth waiting, and parents will realise that if we ourselves show patience and understand our children’s enthusiasm, they will learn from our example.”

"...A very tender story that will help parents manage their children’s impatience and teach them the value of patience from an early age..."

"...Tracey Corderoy’s text provides parents with an excellent opportunity to try to explain (as far as this is possible) to young children the magic of waiting and patience, that not EVERYTHING can happen when we want it to, and that everything has its time and needs its time, just like Archie’s journey and his holidays."

"...The word ‘NOW’! loses its substance and its agonising form – the virtue of patience stretches it out across space and time and replaces it with ‘in a moment’ or ‘when the time comes’. And Archie, and all of us for that matter, need people around us who possess this patience to teach it to him, so that he may understand it and ultimately find happiness."

"...The story of the little rhino certainly has a lot to teach children! But take it slowly! We mums need to be patient too!

"...I was thrilled when I ‘met’ Archie’s family! [...] I must admit I ‘copied’ a little trick from this book. I think all children should get to know Archie and all his parents...”

"...Through this simple, everyday story with such vivid and colourful illustrations, children will identify with the lovable Archi! They will understand – through discussion with their parents, which is essential – that when they wait and things happen in their own time, they turn out in the best possible way, and their joy at that moment is multiplied and cannot be compared to anything else!"

"...Tracey Corderoy’s writing is unpretentious and playful. Tim Warnes’ illustrations are simple and beautiful. The two creators have produced a short illustrated book that, through a wonderful example, explains the value of patience to young children."
