'wherein the appealing little' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'creatures jump around?' is the wordplay.
'creatures' becomes 'pets' (pet is a kind of creature).
'jump around?' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of jump. I am not sure about the 'around?' bit.).
'pets'+'hop'='PETSHOP'
