+1 more for a 26", small or extra small frame instead of a 24". Much better selection of bikes, better components on those bikes and they'll be able to ride them for years unless they go from 4'11" to basketball centers in one year.
I bought a cheap 24" Wally World bike for my son when he was about that size. He owned it one year, rode it a half dozen times and outgrew it. I should have bought the 13" Trek the LBS offered.
