Cows in Action 1 Page 6


  She stormed out and banged the door behind her.

  “Ha!” said Bo.

  Pat laughed too. “It will take her a lot longer than that to find Shetland and Holstein, eh, Professor?”

  “Oh, yes – but I’m sure Yak and the Moo-vers will find us again very soon,” said Professor McMoo, with a big, bullish grin. “Now we are fully-fledged C.I.A. agents, it’ll be ACTION all the way – past, present and future!”

  About the Author

  Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them. Later on he started writing them too, with titles ranging from pre-school poetry to Young Adult thrillers (with more TV and film tie-ins than he cares to admit to along the way). In other careers he has been the editor of Noddy magazine, and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers. He is the author of the hugely successful Astrosaurs, Cows in Action, Astrosaurs Academy and Slime Squad series.
