This certainly shows you're interested in their reading -but it might just frighten them off! It isn't about how good the children are at reading, but about encouraging them to enjoy reading and to extend as readers on their own terms.
It might be better to start with a general question, e.g. "What was the bit you liked best?" or "What was the funniest / saddest bit?" Follow this with comments to show you are listening, e.g. "That sounds hilarious /sad / naughty..." "Is that how it made you feel?" - then you will avoid them launching into retelling the whole story.

You can encourage children to widen their reading taste without it sounding like: you have to read this! As you listen to them make mental notes on how you might help that child expand their reading preferences e.g. "It sounds like you love books about pets / families etc. Are you going to pick another one like it, or something different?" Or, "I saw a book the other day that I think you might like...."
