We explored the book “Kob the Antelope” which I must say was their favourite book. As we read, the children role-played the book and connected the hyena to the poachers who hunt endangered species. The children then created an activist poster to stop people from hunting endangered species. They also felt empathy for Kob’s mother and designed a “Missing Poster” to help her find Kob. Finally, the children also looked into what kind of a character the antelope was and what areas the character needs to improve on in order to avoid the hyena next time.

This book Kob the Antelope written by Olubunmi Aboderin Talabi and Illustrated by Arwa Ali is a story book for toddlers teaching children about the dangers of talking to strangers and steps to take when they got lost.

Kob the antelope teaches children about the food chain. How the hyenas are predators to the antelope and the antelopes prey to the hyenas. Furthermore, it teaches that we should obey our parents, his mum told him to stay but his curiosity got the best of him.

This book is about a baby antelope who disobeyed his mother, and paid dearly for his actions. It teaches children to obey their parents and to be careful of the company they keep.

This book is clear and concise, a good read and story, it has a good balance of suspense and directness. A few words may require further explanation to the target age group. Overall a good book that could be used for bedtime stories as well.

The artwork in this book is beautiful. The romanticization of African nature is amazing, allowing kids to get an appreciation of African nature.  The addition of the map will help kids expand their knowledge of Africa. I feel the way the antelope calls his mother does not represent African parental names such as "mummy" "mama" if possible, this should be added. The use of the hyena to illustrate the fact that not all smiling faces are genuine but may have evil intent behind them is  applaudable.

"Kob the Antelope" teaches a very important lesson to children who read it. The book shows a sense of motherly love and care as even though Kob left home, when he came back his mother received him with open arms. It teaches children that they can always go back to their parents no matter what and also shows them that even in dangerous situations, there is always a way out.

Kob the Antelope is a short story about a curious little Antelope named Kob who escaped the clutches of a very hungry Hyena. This book can be used to teach children about the dangers of wandering without a guardian, and associating with strangers.
