Just randomly thinking about my favourite book from when my kids were little: Toby's Doll's House, by Ragnhild Scamell and Adrian Reynolds. Unfortunately it's long been out of print; in fact, we never actually owned a copy and just used to periodically borrow it from the library and read it repeatedly during the loan period.
It's about a little boy who asks for a doll's house for his birthday, but the adults around him decide he doesn't really want that and get him a garage, a castle, and something else 'boy like'. By the end of the book they're all playing with the toys they bought, while he's made a doll's house out of the boxes they came in.
On one level it's obviously a story about gender stereotypes but at a deeper level I think it's about simply listening when kids tell you things...
