I have an 8 year old daughter who is fascinated with everything space related, I encourage her in anything that keeps her curious and I suspect that a telescope may be under the Christmas tree this year.

What should I look for? Reflector vs. refractor, dimensions, focal length, etc?

Thanks, I saw you mention a list of books in an earlier post and wrote down that one to pick up as a companion to the telescope.
