From the publisher

“A funny space adventure that spoofs Star Wars while providing an easy-to-read story.” –Booklist Commander Toad and his crew on the Star Warts come across a black hole while leapfrogging across the galaxy. Something long, pink, and sticky grabs their spaceship and it isn’t space gum–it’s the tongue of an E. T. T - an Extra Terrestrial Toad! When all else fails, Commander Toad has to resort to a secret weapon from his past to save the ship from toad-al destruction. Fans of DK Readers: LEGO Star Wars, Tom Angleberger’s Origami Yoda, and silliness will toad-ally love Commander Toad!
