Default course books for very young learners

Hello all,

I´m about to start teaching 3 and 5 year-old kids, and I´m trying to find a suitable course book for them to follow.
I´ve been having a look at the some publishing houses such as Longman, Burlington Books, Oxford and Cambridge, but they show very few samples on their web ages.
I'll name the ones that have caught my attention, and I´k like you to give some advice concerning these or others. Here they are:

Oxford:
Tiny Talk
Three in a Tree
Teddy's Train

Burlington Books:
Baby Bertie
Bertie Bear 1
Bertie Bear 2

Longman:
Balloons
Pingu

Of course, the three year-old kids don´t even know how to read or write in their mother tongue.

Apart from that, I would truly appreciate any comments on methodology, and the idea of using English into the classroom as much as possible.

Thank a lot,
Magg
