Title: Racist Content!!!!
Review: I started reading this book very happily (I love Tintin) but I had a terrible surprise when Tintin disguises himself as African-American so that his true identity will not be found. However, the disguise looks like a monkey!!!! He has red clown lips, strange eyes, and actually black skin! Tintin in the Congo is normally the book thought of as racist, but this is almost as bad. I guess it's a good opportunity for discussion with your kids about different time periods and incorrect beliefs about race, but you should know about this before buying the book!
