Unit 4 (The Sky) opens with a street-scene picture reading that builds observation of daily life, green and blue dustbins, bullock-carts and helping visually impaired pedestrians. Chapter 10, Night, is a gentle poem in which a child wonders where the bright Sun goes when it sinks behind a distant hill, leaving the world dark and still until morning when the Sun shines down again.
