I'm using the song "Over In The Meadow" with the animal plates.

Over in the meadow in the sun, in the sun
Swam the big mother fishie and her little fishie one
Swim, said the mother, We swim said the one
And they swam and they swam all the day in the sun.

It has as many verses as you need identifying each animal and their sound. I found it in the old '88 edition of Holt.
