Wrath advice needed. Telescopes

I’m looking to buy a telescope for my daughters 10th birthday, she has an interest in space, the moon and planets.

Looking at the options is a bit bewildering. Different types and what can actually be seen. Obviously price is a factor and considering her age I’m not looking to go too expensive for now.

Anyone on here have a telescope? What is it and what detail can you see (moon detail, planets and galaxies)

Thanks
