This is a really vague question and I really doubt anyone is going to be able to help me out here but I had this book in the early 1980's when I was little. It was hardback and rectangular widthways and had really beautiful colour illustrations. I can't remember if it was one long poem running through the book or lots of short ones but I can only remember mallard ducks on one page, lots of ripe cherries on another and then some long beige things hanging up outside on a line! I know that this is a really terrible description but if this rings a bell with anyone, it would be great to know what it was called. It was one of the loveliest books I had.

Do your Mum or Dad/brothers/sisters remember it? They might recall details that you've forgotten. Was it a present from someone?
I've got a (different) gorgeous nursery rhyme book by Kathleen Mansfield; could be another by her.
Best of luck - will be great if it rings a bell with someone out there.

The only one I can think of that was a favourite was:
Please Mrs Butler - Allan Ahlberg or The Walker Book of Poetry (Childrens)
Have a look at those in book shops and see if that helps!

It wasn't The Hungry Caterpillar was it?
