I believe the answer is:

babbles

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

'uses baby talk in two' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'books amongst loads of wool' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'bb' (two abbreviations for book).
'amongst' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'loads of wool' becomes 'bales' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bb' inserted into 'bales' is 'BABBLES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for babbles that I've seen before include "Talks incessantly" , "Prattles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
