The US edition removes the coal mining, the water, and the mother sections -- the mother section is pretty old-school (sexist and heteronormative) and yes, coal mining is toxic to air and water, but it's fun to read anyway and my kids love these sections; I was glad to find an unabridged edition without playing through the nose for a good condition pre 1970s used US edition.
There are some britishisms in this edition — Daddy Cat (Huckle Cat's dad) is Father Cat; and airplane is spelled aeorplane.
