I am racking my brains but can’t remember the name of this book I used to read to my eldest DS. It’s about a girl and ? a rabbit and they’re talking about what to get the girl’s mother for the birthday. I can only remember fragments.,The girl is asked what her mother likes and she replies that she likes various colours and the ? rabbit says you can’t give her red, something red maybe…she likes grapes….she doesn’t like birds in cages….

If anyone knows what the book is I’d be very grateful

Yes, Maurice Sendak's Mr Rabbit and the Lovely Present - one of my childhood favourites. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rabbit-Lovely-Present-Red-Classics/dp/0099432951/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1696779211&sr=8-1
But Sendak can get quite dark at times... I also picked up Outside Over There when my children were little, as I remembered it, but didn't remember the goblin stuff.
