Review by Kirkus Book Review
A feeble whimsy presented as a ha-ha space adventure. Commander Toad (""brave and bright, bright and brave"") and his froggy crew discover a watery planet, effect a landing on a rubber lily pad, and attract the attention of a Loch-Ness-y monster--whose waves sink their ""sky skimmer,"" cutting off their exit. To distract the monster, brainy Mr. Hop asks him riddles (""What is a monster's favorite ballet?"" ""SWAMP LAKE!"") and ex-warbler Lieutenant Lily (late of ""Warts and Peace"") inveigles him into singing-along. . . while Commander Toad inflates the lily pad--via ""special candles""--until it's a hot-air balloon capable of carrying the trio back to their spaceship. Unbelievable and unfunny. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
