Review of a Book - Royal Bean

The book presents a story about Mr Bean, Teddy, the Queen, the Queen's butler, dog and Buckingham Palace, which is where the Queen lives. To briefly explain the characters, Mr Bean likes the Queen and loves Teddy.  The Queen  loves dogs and she has a butler. 

The book tells a story about how Mr Bean is sad in the morning because his mug is accidentally broken. He tried to recover by trying to buy it again but it is unavailable. Mr Bean followed a lorry which has his favorite mug.He finds himself at Buckingham Palace where he met the Queen, Queen's butler and dog. He is then awarded his favorite mug for finding the Queen's dog. 

This book presents a story in a logical order, from the problem Mr Bean is facing to the challenges he came across in replacing the mug and lastly victory of being awarded his favorite mug.  

It is clearly shown in the book that Mr Bean experienced a problem in the morning by accidentally breaking his mug. He again faces a challenge when a shop assistant does not give him good service and she tells him the mug is not available. He again faces another challenge of fighting with the Queen's dog over Teddy. However, he wins this challenge by getting Teddy back and get awarded his favorite mug by the Queen.

This book can be used as a motivational story to everyone who is experiencing or facing challenges in life. Mr Bean fought against challenges and got victory at the end of the story. If Mr Bean can do it, so can everyone.
