My children are too young for what these books were meant for. However, the stories are teaching good morals, and the pictures are bright and colorful, so these make for a great read. (Review for books 1 - 5. Read all of them thanks too the publishers and NetGalley).

Another awesome adventure with the Alpha-Maniacs. The peculiar pirates have returned to Letter Lagoon with the treasure that they found with the help of the Alpha's. Now, instead of rhyming however, the pirates are using a lot of word combinations that start with the same sound. The pirates invite the Alpha's onto their ship for a fantastic feast, but trouble arises and the Alpha's help their pirate friends once again.
This is the third book focusing on different elements of phonological awareness. The Fantastic Floating Feast draws children to the practice of alliteration. Alliteration is one of my favorite techniques, so I had a lot of fun reading this aloud. Children are encouraged to listen for the repetitive sounds of first letters that the peculiar pirates speak such as kind kids and terrific treasure. One of my favorite activities was having children come up with their own alliterative pirate name such as Swashbuckling Sammy! The letter finding games in the radiant, rich illustrations are continued throughout this third installment as well as the extra learning activities to practice alliteration and letter formation. Another great book in the series!

So the treasure has been found and the pirates do not rhyme anymore. Why not? It was gimmicky but it was cute. I realize that the point of this book is to teach alliteration, but it could have still be done so with rhyming.
Also, this book feels longer than the others. They all have about the same page count, but this title seems to suffer from the middle book slump.
