Some of Staunton's titles include the Maggie and Cyril series, What Blows Up, and award-winning Who I'm Not.
He also teaches a course, "Writing Children's Fiction", through George Brown College, Toronto.
Staunton lives with his family in Port Hope, Ontario.
Many of his stories take place in Port Hope.
Working across multiple publishers, Staunton has written and developed, and contributed to, several series.
He wrote Jump Cut, Coda, and Speed, contributing to the over-arching SEVEN series, published by Orca Books.
For Scholastic Canada, Staunton contributed What Blows Up, part of The Almost Epic Squad.
In the 1980s, he published several of his own children's picture books, including his first, Puddleman, plus Taking Care of Crumley, Harry and Clare's Amazing Staycation.
Other series he has created include Maggie and Cyril for middle-schoolers, and Morgan for young children.
Staunton has worked with numerous illustrators.
He worked with Britt Wilson, the illustrator for The Almost Epic Squad series.
For Puddleman, Staunton worked with local illustrator Brenda Clark, widely known for her work on the Franklin the Turtle series, (which was migrated to several television series).
Taking Care of Crumley was illustrated by Tina Holdcroft.
Holdcroft has illustrated over thirty children's books, and seventy adult books.
Quill & Quire magazine reported on Scholastic Canada bringing together four veterans of children's literature: Ted Staunton, Kevin Sylvester, Richard Scrimger, and Lesley Livingston.
They produced a four-book progressing series, The Almost Epic Squad, about different-aged, different-grade school kids who develop strange superpowers.
In 2013, Staunton wrote Who I'm Not.
This follows the story of a teenager who has lost his name, is trained by a con-artist to help run con schemes.
It was inspired by the story of Frédéric Bourdin, as reported in The New Yorker.
Book reviewer Cecile Sune notes, "If it wasn't based on a true story, I would have thought that the book was too far-fetched and would have dismissed it as too unbelievable. As it is, it turns out to be a fast-paced and highly entertaining story. However, I thought that Ted Staunton followed Frédéric Bourdin's real life story a little bit too closely, and it somewhat spoiled the book for me."
She adds, "The ending is quite different from what happened in real life though, which is good."
In 2014, Quill & Quire magazine announced Who I'm Not as the recipient of The John Spray Mystery Award.
