About Schlaf
Schlaf is the German word for ‘sleep’, and Schlaf is indeed a real sleepyhead.
She loves to stay in bed all day long, hiding from the world under the pillows. In the night, when everybody else is asleep, she is wide awake and very curious. Now and then she gets up to a little mischief, pulling sleeper’s ears and hiding keys and purses, but her intentions are anything but malicious – it’s more of a scientific experiment to Schlaf. She is usually very considerate and sensible, and just wanders through the house looking at the stars through the window.
Schlaf, the Viech and the Bear are friends… but it is not easy to be friends… at least not all the time. From time to time Schlaf tries to have cultivated conversations with the Viech… not that she has been rewarded with much success …
Schlaf, the Viech and the Bear were featured in Stuffed Magazine Winter 2011!
