The Fantastic Floating Feast (Book 3 of 5) practices alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of the initial sound in a series of words. For example, the phrase "marvelous monkeys munch on muffins" is an alliterative phrase because all four words begin with the sound /m/. The story: In this book, Captain Ray and his band of plucky pirates have returned to Letter Lagoon with treasure, and they invite the Alpha-Maniacs to their ship to celebrate with a fantastic feast Once on board, the kids quickly determine that their pirate friends no longer speak in rhyme, but rather in alliterative phrases.
