Even this bowdlerized version is full of cringey depictions of brown people, but it does have some great stuff arguing against bullfighting (which explains why I thought it was awful from an early age). I still enjoyed the reread since it was a favorite book of mine as a kid, full of interesting characters (Polynesia!) and adventures for the little boy in it, and I definitely had some suspicions this time around about where Doctor Who drew its inspirations from for the character of the Doctor, but I might have to do some guided reading and explanations before ever giving it to a theoretical kid of mine.
