I read this with my daughter. I loved watching the way it captured her imagination. The narrator of the book is whimsical and has many asides, which made it entertaining to read as an adult. 

I felt I had to edit and censor a lot of the racial slurs and negative stereotypes, and also the violence. 110 years sure changes what's acceptable and unacceptable, especially for a children's book.
