For young children, I will always recommend a tablet as the number one choice. They are far less breakable. There are one or two flexible-substrate e-ink readers coming on to the market, but at the higher end, so they may not fit your budget requirement, which you haven't specified.
"Appealing size" is not really a clue - what do you mean by that? And what will be the actual purpose(s) of the device? Reading novels? Comics? Interactive picture books? Textbooks? (What format(s)?) Educational software? Something else? You mentioned "sketchbook" - are you looking for particular drawing apps? Are you interested in library book borrowing?
And just to check - you're aware that the Kobo Glo is very old tech now, aren't you? That's a 2012 device. It really doesn't reflect the current hardware on the market.
Knowing what country you are in also helps.
