Leo is four years old. He is sitting opposite his grandfather, looking at a colourful picture book. Leo holds the book open but keeps the illustrations facing towards himself. Pointing to a drawing of a rocket on the page, Leo asks, 'Grandpa, do you like this rocket?' When his grandfather replies that he cannot see the picture, Leo is thoroughly confused.
Use your knowledge of Piaget's theory of cognitive development to explain why Leo is confused by his grandfather's response.
