Summary

COI synopsis: Mrs Corinne Hutt’s little red box is an intriguing toy, and an invaluable accessory to her research into child behaviour. The imaginative antics that children perform when playing with this apparently unsophisticated box (filmed as part of her work), have led Mrs Hutt to some fascinating conclusions.
