Tot's shoe might make it in book (8)
I believe the answer is:
bootikin
'tot's shoe might' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'make it in book' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates anagramming the letters.
'it'+'in'+'book'='itinbook'
'itinbook' with letters rearranged gives 'BOOTIKIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
