Colin McNaughton trae ispirazione dall'umorismo slapstick e dalla narrazione dinamica dei fumetti, che considera un formato moderno e coinvolgente per i bambini. Ha trovato la sua vera vocazione nella creazione di libri per bambini, un mezzo che trova immensamente gratificante e che produce opere tangibili che bambini e adulti hanno accolto con favore. Il suo approccio enfatizza il movimento e la narrazione, colmando il divario tra il cinema e il libro tradizionale.
