Sam is eight and has only ever read storybooks, so he thinks all books contain made-up stories. During library time he picks out a novel about a dragon and enjoys reading it. The librarian then gives him an atlas, explaining that it is a book too. When Sam opens it, he finds page after page of maps of different countries.
Using the source, explain how Sam's schema could develop during library time.
