[Kazuaki]

Firstly, I think it was easy for me to read this book, so I could finish reading this book for two
hours.And I think I want to try to read something more difficult. By the way, the story of this book is very
very funny, because Mr Bean does strange behaves in this book.And I have already watched this story on the TV and Youtube,so I could read this very fluently.
First of all, He went to the restaurant and ordered very expensive steak.However ,unfortunately the steak that he ordered have very very terrible taste,so he couldn't eat. However, in the restaurant
he went, there was a rule that the customers have to completely finish eating. Therefore, He had to
hide the terrible steak to somewhere. He tried to hide the steak everywhere around him. For example,the hole of bread that he digged with his fingers. This scean was the funniest.
Now,I want to read other Mr Bean serias.

5. It was very funny for me to read this book. That's why I kept reading this book for 50 minutes. I was very surprised because Mr.Bean helped Alison's daughter as a doctor. He was very famous all over the world and he did a lot of strange things. This book is the funniest book which I have ever read.

intelligent. Because he can make people laughing. Also, my favorite phrase is "something's coming out of your nose!" I like it!

This is the funny book, it talks about Mr Bean's story and it has 10 chapters. The chapter I like most is " Cleaver Dr Bean " because Mr Bean in this chapter is Cleaver and crazy, It made me laugh at all time and I was interested with them. I think I really like Mr Bean books at all series and I recommend it for my classmate - they are usually sad and sleepy.
