I have six year old twin girls and whilst not "super keen" they have enjoyed looking through my telescope (a 10" 'reflector' - meaning it uses a curved mirror rather than a series of glass lenses - on a Dobsonian mount - i.e. the cheapest sort!) on and off for the last couple of years. However, at that age the big problem is looking through one eye, they really struggle to see things well. The other thing is that you can't use most 'astronomical' telescopes for terrestrial, daytime viewing, particularly reflecting scopes. Not to mention the lack of dark before bedtime for much of the year! I suspect that however keen she is any scope will see only a limited astronomy use.
I would suggest that you either look for a decent pair of binoculars or a spotting scope (which will be a 'refractor' type - it refracts light using glass lenses to magnify your view), which she can use for day and night time use. There may even be spotting scopes which have a 'bincocular' viewer splitting the image to enable you to use two eyes - I don't know much about those though.
If you get binoculars with a tripod mount adaptor (most binoculars will connect to the adaptor via a screw thread in the middle at the front) it will make the night time use much easier, as you can aim them at an object ratehr than her trying to find it.
There won't be anything wrong with binoculars from Australian Geogrpahic (though they are unlikely to be the best deal), the warning about such 'department store' scopes is because they are often sold as whizz bang, but are actually too small to be useful. This doesn't really apply to binoculars or spotting scopes, though of course very cheap ones with plastic lenses will still be pretty useless!
