A narrátorunk (aki egyébként egy csirke) folytatja a valóságtól kissé elrugaszkodott történetét, mint az aligátor legjobb barátja, amíg ki nem derül, hogy az aligátor csak egyedül szeretne maradni, nem kér a legjobb barátságból. Mjad némi egyedüllét után rájön, hogy mégsem volt olyan rossz, hogy volt egy barátja.
Az a helyzet, hogy nem jövök rá, kinek szól ez a mese. Gyerekeknek szerintem túl sok benne az az életre és személyiségekre reflektáló keserű humor. Felnőtteknek meg valahogy a feloldás része nem stimmel nekem. Bág egyfajta görbe tükörnek elmegy. Tanulság: kommunikálj és merj határokat szabni.

This was such a cute read! My daughter had so much fun getting to see the interactions between Snappsy and Bert. She also had a lot to say about how those characters reminded her of Spongebob and Squidward, adding to her love for the book. It did have a little bit of that quality, but with more to it as Bert didn’t have a Patrick to keep him from constantly being at Snappsy’s side lol.

I haven’t read the first book with Snappsy, but after this one I’ll definitely be getting it for my daughter as she’ll probably like it just as much. This one had a good amount of cuteness, mixed with lots of funny moments, and a good lesson for the little ones. Don’t doubt the first one probably has that also. I thought the illustrations were just as cute as the story and my daughter definitely agreed.

I also saw on the author’s page that she has a few more books out, along with others being released in 2018, so I will be looking into getting those also. I know my daughter will probably like those just as much as she liked this one, especially if they have the same humor and colorful characters as those in this book.

If you think consent is a good idea or that "no" means "no", this book is not for you. It shows one character insisting that another do everything with the first, and despite the second's clear "no", the first wears him down over several weeks until he finally gives in.

I want to like this, but it feels too stalkerish.

Still a lot of fun, but it's slightly less enjoyable as an adult to read about someone who invades your house and insists they're your best friend than it would be to read that as a small one.

I'm working on my Snappsy and Bert voices.... It's going to be fun!

A stinker, in my opinion. Let’s just say that I might be “excessively sensitive” to stories about an annoyingly persistent antagonist finally convincing the protagonist that he/she actually does want to be friends simply through always being in their face and never giving up.

Couldn’t stop giggling. Can’t wait to read this to kids!

Funny book. Who can resist an over zealous chicken.

The funny-unreliable narrator (funreliable narrator?) feature so beloved in the first book continues here, where the narrator's voice is a clingy and enthusiastic chicken, who is determined to make Snappsy realize that he is his BEST FRIEND. Though their tastes and personalities clash, Snappsy ultimately realizes on his own, in a quiet break from both the chicken and narrator, that he does want a friend - while still setting boundaries.
