Rhode Island, a tiny state with a huge personality, is shaped like a funny pancake squished between Massachusetts and Connecticut. It may be the smallest state, but it's packed with grand adventures, from slurping clam chowder by the seaside, to exploring historic Newport mansions, or getting lost in Roger Williams Park Zoo. In this quirky little state, cricket is a big deal for an unexpected group of kiddos. They're not just any group; they're the Rhode Island Rascal Roos, a team of fun-loving children of all shapes and sizes. They love cricket more than tootsie pops and Saturday morning cartoons. Imagine a kid named Ziggy Zarf, with his glasses always sliding down his pointy little nose, always ready with the most hilarious jokes. He's a wicket-keeper, but sometimes he forgets that he's not supposed to catch the ball with his mouth! Then there's Lulu Lumber, the smallest of the group, but boy can she bat! She once hit a ball so hard it flew right out of Rhode Island, landing in Connecticut, startling a flock of geese and causing a minor traffic jam! Together, the Rhode Island Rascal Roos practice their bowling, batting, and fielding on the grassy fields of East Providence. You can hear their laughter echoing throughout the state, as they enjoy their cricket adventures, making memories and friends along the way. Rhode Island might be small, but it's cricket-loving heart is colossal, and the Rascal Roos are living proof of that!
