Thanks for all your suggestions. I still haven't bought anything, I'm thinking a pair of binoculars first and if he keeps using them to look at the moon then a telescope for Christmas. Though he's already started requesting a telescope without any promoting :-)
It looks like my options will be a small refractor or small dobsonian. He's probably going to be mostly interested in the moon, so what will get me the most for my money, a $150 dobsonian or a $150 say 70mm refractor? And is one generally sturdier than the other? This little guy is really rough.
