The Backyard Gang are bored on a Saturday with nothing to do. That is, until they use their imaginations to bring Barney to life. When they tell Barney their problem, he acts like a genie and gives them three wishes to go anywhere they would want to go in their imagination. Using their imaginations, they go to places like a fun park, the Moon in outer space, and even a fun-filled animal farm. But when Barney leaves, the kids learn from Mom that "friends are forever, whenever they're make-believe".
In pages of this adaptation portray both forms of Barney as having three fingers as opposed to his original mitten-esque hands. In the farm section of the book, Barney is shown with his original mitten-esque hands.
While The Backyard Show's book adaptation presents Barney's "Vital Statistics" at the conclusion, this book portrays Moonkin's instead.
Like the Backyard Show, this book sold for retail price at $3.50, storybook along with the audio cassette was $6.95, and the Deluxe pack was $19.95
