Usher and his sons
Usher is in awe of his son's imagination.
The singer loves reading to seven-year-old Usher V and five-year-old Naviyd - his kids with ex-wife Tameka Foster - and is fascinated by how his youngest boy in particular develops his interest in the stories.
He said: "They're just getting to that age where they're bringing me books that they want to read, as opposed to me just reading to them. When they were two or three I could use my imagination to tell them a story, but now, to see their imagination come off the page, or they get inspired by something and they go in the corner and look at the pictures ... that right there is the exciting part.
"They're developing their personalities through what they read. They're so imaginative. Especially Naviyd, more than Usher. Oh my God, he has such an active imagination."
The 36-year-old star particularly enjoys reading scary stories with his sons.
Asked by Vulture.com what they like to read, he said: "Anything Scooby-Doo. I've also really come to appreciate those books with the pen... Leap Frog! And spooky kid stuff. They love scary books."
