Book Review 2 (Rewrite)

Title: Mr Bean, Toothache

I read a book review about this book yesterday, so I wanted to read this book. 

In this story, Mr Bean had a bad toothache.
He tried his best to heal his toothache. For example, he tried to pull out his tooth using yarns. But, he couldn't heal his toothache.
Eventually, he saw a dentist and got treatment. 

I learned two things when I read this story.
For one thing, it is best to see specialists when we have some troubles, especially when we have an illness or disorder in our body.
For another thing, we must keep our teeth healthy. 

Anyway, I think Mr Bean has to improve his eating habits and realize that his teeth are not strong.
