Oh, pencil crayon is essentially a coloured pencil. I've heard the names used interchangably. I think "pencil crayon" get useed because wax is put in to hold the colour, like with crayons. The better quality pencil crayons, the less wax. I love and hate pencil crayons. They take forever to work with since the colouring tip is quite fine and one needs to be carefull with pressure or there will be a garish line on occasion that won't go away. They can also only be layerd so much before the paper wont take any more colour.

My favourite ones are my Prismacolour Scholars but the case is terrible and I must have gotten a bad batch or dropped them too many times because the wood splits when I sharpen them, they break like crazy so I'm often colouring with just the broken nub between my fingers, but the colours are great and they blend really well. The other ones I use for travel are my Staedtler guys, which work well enough and I like the brand for other things.
