A little bounder; bit of a crook (3)

I believe the answer is:

roo

'a little bounder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bit of a crook' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ROO' is hidden within 'crook'.

(Other definitions for roo that I've seen before include "young skipper" , "Kanga's child (Milne)" , "Australian jumper" , "Marsupial (abbrev.)" , "Kanga's son (Pooh)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
