For a kid, you want something idiot resistant. American or African Bullfrogs, Firebelly Toads, Tiger Salamanders, Pacmans, or certain hylids like Green Treefrogs, or Cuban Treefrogs. Bufonids are excellent choices as well. Might I recommend a Cane Toad (if legal in your area), or something in the Anaxyrus (formerly Bufo) americanus complex?
