Wind Willows
Scattering The Fruits Of The Trees
Most fruits of the forest tree, whether the seeds are comparatively heavy like those of the ash, or very light like those of the elm, are furnished with wings of various forms so as to be wafted away in whichever direction the wind may blow each in its own time, that all may have an equal chance of propagating whence they land. A small percentage of fruits or seeds that are adapted to wind dispersal are encircled with soft hairs like the poplar seed, or tufted with fine hairs at one end like those of the willows, or with coarser ones like the sycamore fruits, to make them fly fast and far.
The hop hornbeam produces its seeds within inflated, bag-like structures, a number of which grow together in a drooping cluster, to sail away light as balloons upon the September winds. Wherever we find spines on the outer covering of a tree fruit, as in the beechnut, it is for protection, as a rule, rather than for dispersal. The wind is the chief agent in the scattering of these fruits, and the winged seed or fruit characterizes the great forest tree. Those that are too heavy to be buoyed up and carried out from the tree by the wind are so constructed or so shaped that when they fall they will either bounce or roll into new homes.
Some of these are so attractive to the animals of the woods that in sheltered nooks on flat-topped rocks we find the remnants of many a feast. Nature did not intend that animals should disperse nuts and acorns, but many of these, carefully tucked away beneath the soft leaf mold by small animals for future use, are forgotten, and thus, by accident, have reached favorable homes. Most of the fruits of the common hardwoods ripen in late summer or autumn, but it is quite important to know approximately when the early fruits mature. Those of the elms are often ripe and swept away by the wind before the trees are fully leaved out in April. The silver and red maples scatter their seeds in May and June, six weeks after the flowers open, that their seeds may find warm, moist places in which to germinate quickly and develop sufficiently during the warm season to withstand the rigors of winter.
For the same reason other trees that love to grow in the swamps, by the river's edge, or by the brook that winds through the meadow, such as the river birch, the poplars, and the willows, hasten to ripen and send forth their offspring to seek new homes. The fruits of the willows develop from their drooping pistillate catkins into little, green pods or capsules along the catkin axis in about four weeks. In eight weeks the poplars go through the same process. The poplar capsules are larger than those of the willow and often curve outward from the central axis.

looking for kid-friendly authors similar to Kenneth Grahame who wrote The Wind in the Willows?
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is my nephew's favorite bedtime story, i also enjoy it too when reading it to him, are there any authors similar to Kenneth Grahame? Aside from Frances Hodgeson-Burnett because we've already read the Secret Garden as well as tadditional books Kenneth Grahame's published (not including The Wind in the Willows) likewise .My nephew is 4 and i am running out of reading material that amuses him, help!
The Phantom Tolbooth by Norton Juster is a book my sons loved that your son might enjoy. It is a humorous fantasy adventure which is quite delightful.
Stig of the Dump by Clive King is another great book that he might like. About a boy who finds a caveman living in a disused chalk quarry, it is a great story that my sons both loved. A classic in my opinion.
The Hundred and One Dalmations by Dodie Smith is another story that he might enjoy. Another one my sons were very fond of.
Your son might enjoy the Moomintroll books by Tove Jansson. The first one is called Comet in Moominland, and there is Finn Family Moomintroll, The Exploits of Moominpappa, Moominsummer Madness, Moominland Midwinter, and Tales from Moomin Valley. My sons also enjoyed these books.
He might like the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, though perhaps he is a little young for them, but he seems to have very good comprehension for his age. You might like to start with The Magician's Nephew, which was not the first book to be written, but is the first chronologically. It explains the beginnings of Narnia, and is one of the most enjoyable in the series in my opinion.
E. Nesbit (mentioned in the answer above) is anothor author he might enjoy. Five Children and It is a very good one, as are its sequels The Phoenix and The Carpet and The Story of the Amulet. The Story of the Treasure seekers is another very good one, as is The Enchanted Castle. As with the Narnia books, I would have thought they were a little old for a 4-year-old, but he does seem to have quite advanced tastes for his age.
Edward Eager wrote some very entertaining children's fantasy stories which are full of allusions to E. Nesbit, who he admired tremendously. Half Magic, Knight's Castle, Magic by the Lake, and The Time Garden are all delightful stories.
The Midnight Folk by John Masefield is another book that he might enjoy, a very rich and complex fantasy adventure. Again, I would have thought more for a slightly older child, but a bright child like yours might enjoy it.
The Jennings books, by Anthony Buckeridge, are books that I was very fond of as a child. They are about a boy at an English prep school, and all the adventures he gets into. They are very funny.
