It's getting harder and harder to find good books. I found this by coincidence/hard research. The 1881 text itself is in the Public Domain and doesn't seem to have mentionings of overalls. Illustrations of (later) issues are probably still copyrighted.
There are many different editions and several illustrators. Some illustrations showing overalls of boys and some are very interesting like illustrator William Sharp (1992 ?) and Claudine Nankivel (1963). Author Harriett Lothrop aka Margaret Sidney.
Later I've learned that this is a book series and there are even late 30s movies starring Tommy Bond ("Hideaway (1937)", Spanky (1937) and others.
I have to recheck the other novels and movies. I have very briefly checked the movies and "only" found a little girl in long bibs in "Out West with the Peppers" (entry soon). Backside simple suspenders only.
