In the tiny, but mighty state of Rhode Island, on the eastern coastline of the United States, a peculiar thing occurs every day. Imagine a state so small that if it were a pancake, you could eat it in three bites! Yet, this little spot on the map, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is home to the finest, bravest, and most adventurous band of kids you could ever meet - The Rhode Island Readers! At the heart of this squad is their leader, a quirky, funny character named Rambunctious Rhode. Now Rhode isn’t your average sort of fellow. He's got a big belly laugh that echoes through the public libraries and a pair of glasses that can magnify the tiniest print in the thickest books. Rhode could read faster than a cheetah could run, and he could remember every single word he ever read. Why, some even say that his brain is a whole library in itself! In Rhode's company, the Rhode Island Readers come together each day to dive into the magical world of books. They read about fearless knights, cheeky monkeys, mysterious spells, and even about aliens from outer space! They giggle, gasp, and often end up rolling on the floor with laughter. But, here's the best part, these Reading Wizards don't just read. They bring stories to life! They act them out, draw them, even sing about them. One day they're pirates sailing the Narragansett Bay, the next, they're astronauts exploring the farthest reaches of the universe. So, in the tiny but mighty state of Rhode Island, adventures are never too far away for the Rhode Island Readers and their funny leader, Rambunctious Rhode. Oh, what a joy it is to be a child in Rhode Island!
