Check out the original text & drawings on Project Gutenberg - and decide whether the very dated language is suitable. It was originally published in 1918 after all. The poems are fun and very quotable. My family still uses the "Eat away, chew away, munch and bolt and guzzle" one as the official start of xmas dinner. Recited in chorus. Would recommend reading it aloud to kids - the book's a lot of fun that way. And you can gloss over the hideous fate of Curry & Rice if you prefer.
