An obviously colourful story.

Reasonably interesting story that's meant to teach both colours and encourage doing things creatively, which I quite like.

I had two reading issues, though: The Crayon letters can be hard to read for dyslexic people, and that yellow-on-white was atrocious. They needed more contrast between the colours in order to make it easier to read.
