339V: Sentient Virus
Archaeologists discover the body of a prehistoric man sealed in a cave. The man’s body contains a virus which is released when the cave is unsealed. When the viral level in an infected human’s blood becomes a certain level, they are able to communicate with the virus. The virus says that it created all our childhood diseases to strengthen our bodies to make us carriers for the virus.

339S: The Story of How the Easter Bunny Delivers Eggs
I don’t know the title, but it is a collection of children’s stories and fairy tales which my twin and I read in the mid 50s.
Key Words: Easter Bunny, how eggs were painted and delivered.
My twin and I remember a children’s book with beautiful illustrations. This included the
story of how the Easter bunny would deliver eggs. The illustration had a standing rabbit
with a large basket attached like a big backpack.
Thanks for any help!
339R: Star Kids
I’m looking for a book I read in my childhood surrounding a group of girls who each had individual powers/gifts relating to zodiac constellations. They may have been labelled as guardians.
I can remember a part of the book relating to one of the girls who had magic in correlation to the Leo constellation.
I can’t remember the title or cover of the book, I’m just hoping you can find it. I’m 22 and read it when I was roughly 7 or 8, so possibly 2006/7.
Thanks in advance.

339P: A Girl, An English Boy, And Plaits
Looking for a children's/middle school age book from 1960s about a girl. A boy from England moves in next door. I think the setting is rural/farm community. She likes the way the boy says bath (baahth). For a special occasion she "plaits" her hair more loosely than usual so the plaits will lie flat when she wraps them around her head or pins them up. She leans over kettle/ pot of steam to create tendrils. That's all I can remember. My mom got it for me from the local public library in Chicago.
