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, the voice of a Dalek and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers.

Customer Reviews

the best book yet
I could not put it down when I got it .The book is brilliat!! And there is a great twist at the end. My little brother enjoys me reading it to him too.

I loved this book
I loved this book because it had Pterosaurs in it. I liked the bit when Gipsy and Iggy were battling with the Wolly Mammoths and the bit where they found out that Gradum was a Wolly Mammoth in disguise. Danny aged 4

Yet more Star Stegs in space - pre-teen boy classic sci-fi tales
My son (10) isn't very good at reading, so I read these Astrosaurs books to him at bedtime. He really enjoyed them and so we have bought all of the series (8 books at present) to encourage him to like books as much as his Playstation 2, TV and DVD's. Most books we have are shared with his 12 year old sister, so he appreciated a good book aimed at young boys. The sci-fi stories are quite good (we are Dr Who, New Captain Scarlet & Dan Dare fans) and you get the boys favourite (dinosaurs) thrown in as well. The series follows the space adventures of a troupe of vegetarian dinosaurs (they escaped the meteor hit 50 million years ago by leaving Earth in spaceships). In this book `the long squawk' is sent out by the High Flapper (the ruler of Squawk Major - planetary home of all flying dinosaurs). Capt. Teggs, Arx, Gipsey and Iggy of the Starship DSS Sauropod rush to investigate.

This is the fifth book of the excellent series. They are best read in order. My son says 'Like the other books it was cool, I liked the characters and the pictures. I also liked the cut-out cards at the front'. I would think the books would suit any pre-teen boy older than four, who appreciates space travel. I also enjoyed reading them out loud. There are surprisingly few good books aimed squarely at young boys about, so highly recommended. Also try 'The tentacled terror' plus the 'Horrid Henry', 'Seriously silly stories' and the 'Captain Underpants' series of books.
