Not Canterbury Tales but it might have been influenced by it.

Actually, you almost had it! It's The Book of the Dun Cow by Walter Wangerin, a book of fables based more or less on Chaucer's Chanticleer story. Its main character is actually Chauntecleer, and the story takes places before the creation of humans, before the Genesis.
The sequel is Book of Sorrows, but I don't know anything about it.
Wangerin, a Lutheran pastor, is best known for his long religious novels; for example, The Book of God: The Bible as a Novel (1996); Paul: A Novel (2001; and Jesus: A Novel (2005).

Chanticleer or Chanticleer and the Fox is the title of the book and it was published in the 1950s, I think. I doubt the author has anything new. Start by looking at Caldecott Award winners. I believe it's one of them.
