I believe the answer is:

bambi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disney character' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in book with reduced scope' is the wordplay.
'in book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'scope' becomes 'ambit' (synonyms).
'ambit' with its last letter taken away is 'ambi'.
'b'+'ambi'='BAMBI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bambi that I've seen before include "Walt Disney's young fawn" , "cartoon film" , "7's fawn" , "D [Disney] made it" , "Walt Disney film with lovable deer" .)
