Lisa was watching Emily when Lisa noticed Emily was playing with something on the floor. Lisa stopped reading and went over to investigate when Emily said "go read a book."
Peering inside Emily's brain we see: I know what reading a book is. Mommy was just reading a book. Ergo, Mommy should go back to reading a book instead of bothering me.
It's amazing what can go through the head of an almost-2-year-old, and it's amazing how conscious she is of what we do (see previous post too).
