Microscope - what type for a 10 yr old?

Hi guys

I'm looking to get a microscope for my son for xmas. I had one when I was about his age, and absolutely loved it.

I haven't really looked for any yet, but saw some in Toys R Us, ranging from $29 to $129.

What do I need to look for in a microscope?
What brands should I look for/stay away from?
What features should I look for?
Best place to buy?
Price ranges?

I'm not after the best that money can buy, but I also don't want a "dept store cheapie"

Something middle of the range I guess, reasonable quality and affordable.

Cheers
