I would go with a full size...My 8 year old is getting to grips one...

Yet it may better to take her to a music shop and let her play a few in different size's.

I believe that when you are comfortable you play better....

Try the Sigma TM12 travel acoustic (TM12E for electro acoustic). Not cheap but easily the best value small bodied acoustic guitar that Ive tried. I gave one to my teenaged daughter at Christmas and its lovely although I do tend to play it more than her :)

Just like jamesd74 said.. a full size guitar would be fine.. As it sounds better too.. or if you think that it might be a little hard for her to get used to those metal strings.. you can also go for an nylon strings guitar for a start.. and progress to nickel lately, this will help her gradually get her fingers hard and tough and she will feel pain less likely..
And yeah do make her join this forum.. this would help her.. :)

Its bit smaller than regular guitar. This one is cheaper, but also great

A 36 in (91 cm) guitar if your child is almost ready for a full-size guitar but is still too small to comfortably play it.
