Commander Toad in Space by Jane Yolen

3.0

Commander Toad is a spoof on Star Wars and Star Trek. Their space ship is Star Warts. There is Luke Skyjumper and the ship is shaped like a swimming frog. It is all cute and I appreciate the references. They go down to the surface of a new water planet like in Star Trek. Their vehicle is not the best vessel I have seen.

The story was cute and silly. It is a young reader. My niece read it and said it was ok. She gave it 3 stars but didn’t really recommend it. It’s by Jane Yolen, who I love so I wanted to read it. I was surprised it is from 1980, and it really is. That’s a long career.
