If your daughter is just playing around, then I would skip the SM58 and get a USB microphone. If she is perhaps dallying in recording to go into music itself then your cheapest route is an XLR to USB converter. These are not high quality necessarily but adequate to get the proverbial feet wet.

A few links for you:
SM58 + USB converter

If thats all you're doing then i would just get a USB Adapter for Phantom Power Preamp to Computer USB Interface, you will have to by the cord seperate but then all you will have to do is download audacity, and when you do download it you might have some issues with latency meaning when you record, your recorded track might be delayed or off beat so to speak but you can fix that in the preferences section. Pm me if you need any more assisitance
