Barney's Number Friends is a 1996 children's picture book that was adapted from a poem written by Mark S. Bernthal and illustrated by Darren McKee.
The book is adapted from the poem told by Tosha in the episode "It's Raining, It's Pouring...", which was written by Bernthal.
The book was later released by Scholastic and HIT Entertainment when Barney was purchased by HIT.
