'''''Commander Toad''''' is a series of children's books by [[Jane Yolen]], published by [[Puffin Books]] from 1980 to 1998. The series is a [[toad]]-themed parody of pop culture science fiction filled with puns. ''[[Star Wars]]'' is referenced with many [[pun]]s on iconic ''Star Wars'' characters including Jake Skyjumper ([[Luke Skywalker]]), Deep Wader ([[Darth Vader]]) and Star Warts, the name of Commander Toad's ship. The books feature Commander Toad and his crew exploring the Galaxy for Starfleet, and each story is a different mission, a clear reference to ''[[Star Trek]]''.{{Cn|date=February 2024}}
