7×7 Tales Of A Sevensleeper
''7×7 Tales of a Sevensleeper'' (german: Siebenschläfergeschichten) is a 1985 children's book written by Hanna Johansen. Synopsis Much to his brother's and parents' dismay, a boy's obsession over the habits of his favourite animals—squirrel-like creatures called "sevensleepers"—makes him pretend he is one of them. The number seven figures in his daily routines throughout the course of 49 stories: he becomes that age early on in the book, with as many presents to match; he goes to bed every night at seven o'clock; and he even eats or owns things in groups of seven. This trait even helps him follow the week more efficiently than months or years, which are both far longer. Publishing history ''Siebenschläfergeschichten'', the original German version of ''7×7 Tales of a Sevensleeper'', was published in 1985 by the Swiss company Nagel & Kimche. A Dutch edition, titled ''De zevenslaper'' and translated by Erna Borawitz, came out through the Christofoor imprint a year l ...
