When it comes to children’s books, particularly children’s books about Jesus, the stories are usually very explicit. This is perfectly understandable; we wouldn’t want children to miss important aspects of the story because they don’t notice or understand what the author is alluding to.
Still, it is refreshing from time to time to read a children’s story that is rather subtle and sparks conversation with little ones about what the story means. Petook: The Rooster Who Met Jesus is just that kind of children’s story.
