Was "The Poky Little Puppy" Censored?

In the 1942 Little Golden Book庐 %26quot;The Poky Little Puppy%26quot; by Janette Sebring Lowrey with illustrations by Gustaf Tenggren, the puppies encounter a series of creepy crawlies: a fuzzy caterpillar, a quick green lizard, a big black spider, a brown hop-toad, a little grass snake and a big grasshopper, all of which are illustrated except for the spider. Do you think that the book was censored before it was published or was this drawing never created in the first place.
Was %26quot;The Poky Little Puppy%26quot; Censored?
I haven%26#039;t seen a copy of that in years, but I do remember the creepy crawlies...if they are not incl in the current edition then yes, it has been edited for whatever reason.
