Karl, Get Out of the Garden!

By: Anita Sanchez

Karl Linnaeus began as a curious child who loved exploring plants and insects in the garden. Though he struggled in school, his passion for nature never wavered. That passion eventually led him to take on the enormous task of naming and organizing every living thing on Earth. His work became the foundation of the scientific classification system still used today. Beautifully illustrated, this book brings the wonder of backyard science to life.

Do you know what a Solanum caule inermi herbaceo, foliis pinnatis incises, racemis simplicibus is?*

Carolus (Karl) Linnaeus started off as a curious child who loved exploring the garden. 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.

Back matter includes more information about Linnaeus and scientific classification, a classification chart, a timeline, source notes, resources for young readers, and a bibliography.
