Even so, I'm changing the rating to Questionable. Not sure how this spent nearly two years in the work-safe pool...

ChaosGX, your logic is backwards, it's thinking that naked children in children books must have any sexual connotations that is an attribute of perverted society. In my childhood I read "The Extraordinary Adventures of Karik and Valya" by Yan Larri. Google it. They stay naked for half the book and later strip again as they have to use their clothing for other purposes (though this is different in illustrations by different artists, where they either don't strip completely or get some new clothing afterwards, but in the text there's no telling that they did either). And those kids are at least 9 years old, as they're mentioned to be pioneers. And with Karik being the older sibling it makes him at least 10. Then in the end of the book when Valya insists they should dress up, Karik reacts as if she's talking nonsense, and then she explains that people would laugh at how thin she became.
It was an ordinary children book in its time. No one saw anything sexual in it.
And now as soon as someone hears a slightest mention of a naked child they freak out because apparently they can't look at a child without thinking of sex?
So who's perverted now?
