Right on the heels of marble-powered binary addition, I bring you Cubee the Aggregate™! The coloring books will delight youngsters. To quote the website, “Cubee and his aggregate friends will take children on a magical journey from Cubee’s birthplace in the neighborhood quarry to his new home in the schools, roads, and other structures that enrich our communities and lives.” Sounds, um, great. Magical, I mean. Maybe more like misguided.

And as my friend Jackie immediately pointed out, “Cubee’s not even a cube!”

A shout out to my friend Kelly for pointing this out to me.
