Did Jessica like the book?

Initially I had said to [Jessica] I would wait until she was seven, but she kept asking me and asking me and I thought oh well, we’ll try and it was the most important reading ever in my life. …  I really, really want her to like what I’m doing. It’s very important. Then she went away and she painted a lightening scar on her own forehead so I assumed that she did like them. Well, in fact I know that she does like them. She asks me all the time to read her more.
