Terry Denton is a renowned illustrator, not a writer. While he doesn't write books himself, he collaborates with authors to bring their stories to life through his brilliant illustrations. He has illustrated numerous children's books, most notably the "Worst-Case Scenario" series, and has also contributed to "The Gruffalo" and "Room on the Broom."
Therefore, it's not accurate to say he was inspired to *write* books. He was inspired to become an illustrator, and his passion for bringing characters and stories to life through visuals is what drives him.
