Alby loves books. At least twice a day he will get out all of his books and spend a good twenty minutes going through each and every one of them. Every third book or so he will bring one over for you to read. He will turn the pages (sometimes working front to back but usually back to front). He will use his magic pointy finger to rub over different textures bits or push down on buttons for noises. He will skip over the boring bits.

| Just having a little read before bed |
He has his favourites which are currently:
This little builder…
The hungry caterpillar (with sound)
Little Kingdom: I’m an elf
Farm yard noises (which is freakishly realistic)
 |
| Choosing the best buys at Waterstones |
In addition to reading his own books, Alby rates himself as a bit of an intellectual and rarely misses the chance to also read the adult books. He has taken a particular shine to my university books and will routinely pull down all the books on the shelf (I think he is trying to show me up for the pretentious so and so I clearly am).

| Littering Percy's bed with a few scholarly books |
Percy has no such interest in books and even when Alby empties the entire shelf onto his bed he refuses to acknowledge any of it. So stubborn is he that he will even sleep with thick tomes on Chinese history under each leg whilst Alby drops more books on his head.
