Summary of Synthesized Information
Baby Bear's Chair's:
- Theme: Don't just love one thing, love lots of things.
- Tone: The tone of this book is Happy, and loved. I think this because... Baby bear loves all of his chair's not just one. Also he is very happy the whole time he is in his chair's. And he loves all his chair's but, his fathers lap the best.
Owl Moon:
- Theme: Don't give up on something you really want.
- Tone: The tone of this book is happy, joyful, and suspenseful. I think this because... the girl in the book wants to go owl hunting really badly with her father so they go owl hunting. They don't find an owl the first time they call out, but the second time they hear one and the girl gets happy. And the girl is joyful and happy but she has to stay quiet.
