This is geared mostly toward adults, but it's a good place to ask where you can find stuff for kids.
I've got a book/CD French course from Living Languages ($25/US, $38/Canada) that would probably be helpful if she's self-propelled. (I'm not going at the language seriously right now, but it seemed sensible. My best vocabulary-builder has been -- no joke -- the bilingual labels in the grocery store. It's good to know one's haricourt from fromage.
Folks who know tell me Canadian French is not much like French in France... more like English in, say, Alabama vs. the BBC.
Good luck to the kid!
