[Scott]

I remember pictures of a boy with a butterfly net standing on a fence catching animals and items in the wind.

When did you read it?

Thank You!
Probably early 1970's

Scott, can you describe the illustrations - e.g., simple or detailed, realistic or cartoony, painted watercolors or bold graphics, bright or dark colors, black & white? Do they remind you of a similar illustrator or picture book author?

[Scott]

I remember it being simple illustrations, in color, and maybe more cartoony than realistic, kind of watercolor-y. Very similar to 'A Fly Went By'. I am sure it was a hard cover. I mostly remember the boy standing on a fence and leaning into the wind. When the wind died he fell off the fence after collecting quite a few animals and items in his net.

Note: Illustrations very similar to A Fly Went By by Mike McClintock.
