Colin McNaughton s'inspire de l'humour burlesque et de la narration dynamique des bandes dessinées, qu'il considère comme un format moderne et captivant pour les enfants. Il a trouvé sa véritable vocation dans la création de livres pour enfants, un médium qu'il trouve extrêmement gratifiant et qui produit des œuvres tangibles que les enfants et les adultes ont plébiscitées. Son approche met l'accent sur le mouvement et la narration, créant un pont entre le cinéma et le livre traditionnel.
