Impact: Asteroids And The Science Of Saving the World by Elizabeth Rusch, 76 pages

"Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes--and hit our planet in them, too. But what happens if a catastrophically large one approaches earth? By looking on the ground at historical asteroid craters and present-day falls, and up into space for the big ones yet to come, a wide variety of scientists are trying to figure out how to track asteroids--and how to avoid devastating impacts in the future." This was a great factual book for kids interested in this topic.  I found it interesting, although a little scary.  I would definitely give this to elementary kids interested in the topic.
