One minor consideration is to check under Preferences in iTunes and make sure that under the Advanced tab, the checkboxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to the library" is ticked. IIRC, this is the default, but it's possible that it may have been unchecked if your goddaughter was playing around with the settings, and it'll make things much easier for a newbie user to have everything auto-organized.
And in the newer iTunes 12.x version, in order to get an easy link to the Audiobooks tab, you have to click the ellipsis on the little bar below the Play controls and select the checkbox to have it show on the toolbar every time she opens iTunes (IIRC it's not one of the default picks for library display, which usually just shows Music/Movies/TV).
Also, you can use the Sorting tab under Get Info within iTunes to help set up more useful custom tagging/display in the library.
For example, right now the SYNC audiobooks I have put the Artist name like "Writer/Reader/Other Reader" in the ID3 tags, but you can rename that to "Writer, read by Readers" and then under Sorting, change it to "Lastname, Firstname" and then it'll display as "Elizabeth Wein, read by Narrator" but she'll be able to find all the author's books together under the W section of the library. (Although now that I think about it, it'd probably be better to do that with the titles, since there's a chance that there'll be future audiobooks with versions read by different narrators, so you could do "A Christmas Carol, read by Reader #1" and "A Christmas Carol, performed by full-cast audio of Theatre Production #2", and still have it sort under the Cs in the title list.)
The Finder can also play many media filetypes not just in column view, but also in the Icon and Cover Flow views, as long as you can see the little Play button when you click the icon for the selected file.
