If you’re looking for a children’s book that’s as fun to read as it is to sing, I Know a Guy Named Noah Guy is a total winner. Jeanne Ward’s rhyming picture book is a bright and cheerful adventure starring Noah Guy, the ultimate good friend who knows no bounds (literally—he’s aware he’s in a book!). Readers are taken to outer space, to the zoo and the rodeo, and more on a trip that is pure imagination. Noah’s story keeps kids entertained while subtly teaching important lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and friendship.

What really sets this picture book apart is the music. Yes, there’s an actual music track! Ward’s son, Tyler Ward, turned the story into a catchy song, and it’s addictive. The rhythm of the verses was already delightful, but pairing it with music makes it an absolute blast for kids (and adults) to sing along to.

The illustrations are as vibrant and joyful as the story itself, with colorful scenes that capture the imagination and fun of the story. The playful tone invites young readers to dream big and imagine anything is possible when they work together.

This book isn’t just for bedtime—it’s perfect for group storytime, classroom read-alouds, or even just a fun singalong session at home. I can totally see kids clamoring for repeat reads (and listens).

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or someone who loves sharing creative stories with kids, I Know a Guy Named Noah Guy is a fantastic pick. The blend of music, rhyme, and heartwarming themes makes it a memorable read that’ll inspire young minds. Highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf—and your playlist!
