Review of Crayola

This story is just plain fun to listen to. The artfully understated beginning (history of Crayola) slowly and smoothly accelerates into a rather delightful blend of crayon lore, nostalgia, children, crayon cliches, and what turns out to be a surprisingly familiar sound-- a rhythmic back-and-forth-back-and-forth rub that most all of us experienced when our hands were much smaller, heads and ears bent low over our work. Your listeners will all smile and nod knowingly.
