Despite his intelligence--and his mother's scoldings--he was a poor student, preferring to be outdoors with his beloved plants and bugs. As he grew up, Karl's love of nature led him to take on a seemingly impossible task: to give a scientific name to every living thing on earth. The result was the Linnaean system--the basis for the classification system used by biologists around the world today. Backyard sciences are brought to life in beautiful color. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBack matter includes more information about Linnaeus and scientific classification, a classification chart, a time line, source notes, resources for young readers, and a bibliography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e*it's a tomato  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA handsome introductory book on Linnaeus and his work -- Booklist, starred review \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA good introduction to a man in a class by himself -- Kirkus Reviews \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLends significant humanity to the naturalist -- Publisher's Weekly \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe biographical approach to a knotty scientific subject makes this a valuable addition to STEM and biography collections -- School Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnita Sanchez\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the picture book \u003ci\u003eLeaflets Three, Let it Be!: The Story of Poison Ivy\u003c\/i\u003e (Boyds Mills), as well as botany and history books for adults.
