7×7 Tales of a Sevensleeper (which in German is called Siebenschläfergeschichten) is a children's book written by Hanna Johansen. It was first published in 1985. The book tells a fun story about a boy and his favorite animals.
The Story of the Sevensleeper Boy
This book is about a boy who really loves "sevensleepers." These are small, squirrel-like animals. They are known for sleeping for a very long time, especially during winter.
The boy becomes obsessed with these animals. He even starts to pretend he is one of them! This makes his parents and brother a bit confused.
The Magic of the Number Seven
The number seven is very important in the boy's life throughout the book. There are 49 stories in total, and 49 is 7 times 7.
- He turns seven years old early in the book.
- He gets seven presents for his birthday.
- He goes to bed exactly at seven o'clock every night.
- He often eats or owns things in groups of seven.
This special connection to the number seven even helps him keep track of the week better than months or years. Months and years are much longer and harder for him to follow.
