Bookroo's summary

Commander Toad and his crew aboard the Star Warts rush to aid an asteroid in distress. But communication proves tricky with its pigeon-like inhabitants. Can Commander Toad decipher the mystery and become the hero they need? As they navigate this cosmic conundrum, the stakes are high, and the clock is ticking. Will bravery and wit be enough to save the day, or will the language barrier prove insurmountable? Dive into this whimsical space adventure and find out if Commander Toad can rise to the challenge.

From the publisher

“A funny space adventure that spoofs Star Wars while providing an easy-to-read story.” –Booklist When Commander Toad and the crew of the Star Warts learn that a disaster has struck and asteroid, they race across the galaxy to the rescue. But it’s hard to figure out just what is wrong, especially when there is a language barrier between the Star Warts crew and the pigeon inhabitants of the dis-asteroid. A hero is needed, but is even intrepid Commander Toad brave enough to save the day? Fans of DK Readers: LEGO Star Wars, Tom Angleberger’s Origami Yoda, and silliness will toad-ally love Commander Toad!
