I remember reading it before in elementary, but I want to read it again.

The story, as far as I recall, is how a girl runs away with her brother and they camp and live inside a museum. They bath in the water fountain and use the money contained in the water fountain to buy their food. They are on some search for something about Bologna, Italy.

Any ideas anyone? TIA.

Thanks again. I read it when I was in elementary and had the pleasure to read it again thanks to you.

It's a good book that one can probably read in 2 hours time. It refers to a lot of old events which is interesting. It also won a Caldecott or Newbury award (forgot which one). I highly recommend it if you like reading children tales.
