Great story and illustrations!
I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my toddler nephew and it became his favorite new book of the year!
I had read the story randomly in a store some years ago as the title, awards, and cover illustration caught my eye. Growing up as a 90s kid, I cannot recall being exposed to a variety of diverse books especially ones that take place in the city and Last Stop on Market Street stuck with me. It depicts the city life well, how for some the only transportation is the bus, and the value of community by giving your time to help and connect with others.
The illustrations are beautifully done and the story captures both CJ’s imaginations and observations wells. My brother especially loved how wise CJ’s grandmother is as she guides him during their journey and teaches him at a young age how to help those in need.

A beautifully written and illustrated story about a young boy and his Nana and their loving spirit they share with others
This is a simple, but beautiful story with heart. It is told by a little boy who apparently lives with his Nana. The illustrations are scenes painted in brilliant colors. C.J., the boy has many questions to ask his Nana, like why they have to ride the bus or always to do the same thing every Sunday? Nana patiently and gently answers every question and helps C.J. to open his eyes and his mind to the beauty around him. This book teachers children compassion and to look for good and beauty in people and their surroundings. It models empathy for those who have less than one has. Nana has a lovely spirit and great wisdom. She makes one feel that she is a lady one would like to know. Nana teaches the joy of giving back to others. This is a book I will read again and again.

Award Winning Teaching Book
This story has a lovely story that is a great teaching moment for young children. I enjoyed the illustrations and I find these stories about real life situations of other people in other circumstances other than your own offer great teaching moments for the young readers….Recommend you read it to your young children and it gives you a good opportunity to explain to your children that even those who have much less than you do….but, have love and family are wealthy in their own way….and to express all types of families exist and are all just as important and your individual family is to you. Important that they are getting more books out that offer important lessons about life to young people…to grow their empathy for others…and caring feelings for others from a young age. Recommend

Wonderful book for many reasons
This is a really nice book. For parents out there to write a negative review because of how this grandmother and grandson speak is, to my mind, quite ridiculous. Aren’t we, as parents, supposed to raise children to become aware of others in their world who may not look exactly like them? Who may not talk exactly like them? Who may not live exactly like them? This book does a really nice job of presenting a loving family living in the city of San Francisco and also has a very powerful lesson about giving back. What more could a father (me) or mother ask for in terms of an appropriate and loving book for their pre-schooler? I found it not only a charming story but a great vehicle for opening some doors into some important discussions. My daughter loves it and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Has a great message! Loved it
This book is written for a younger group. It is about a little boy and his nana and their trip on the bus to the soup kitchen. It has a great message it is a must read.

Wonderful book for urban families
This is a fantastic book for people who live in an urban environment. My almost-3 year old son loves this book and I suspect it is because he can relate to riding the bus and loves the guy playing guitar. It is also a good tool for continuing our conversations about people who do not have enough to eat, maybe don’t have places to live, and who struggle. These are concepts that we have introduced in the past but the book is not heavy-handed about these issues if they are new to your child. My son would not understand that their destination is a “soup kitchen” but we talk about that. Now when we read it he recognizes what the boy and his grandmother are doing on the final pages. I really enjoy the sarcastic tone and “dialect” of English the grandmother speaks. I particularly enjoyed that she gives the same explanation for rain: so that the trees can drink! Her description of “straws” also has led my son and I to talk about how trees suck up water when we are walking in the rain. Overall, it was one of my most successful recent children’s book purchases. It was an instant favorite for my son (and he’s a bit particular and prefers books exclusively featuring musical instruments)!

Wonderful depiction of the city & finding gratitude
I bought this book after moving my young family from SF to a very homogeneous suburb. Rode MUNI with my kids & at the time didnât realize how diversity is taught passively when itâs all around you. Fast forward, my kiddo makes a comment in preschool that shocks me & realize that sheâs now in such a bubble. This book is clearly nostalgic for me, but for my kids itâs a chance to talk about all the different lives people live. A chance to talk about race, culture, homelessness, privilege (riding the bus instead of a car, not having a music player), people with disabilities, etc.
To those who choose to post about the grammar In this book, good authors work very hard on depicting dialects, which are 100% a part of oneâs culture. Take the opportunity to discuss the diversity that exists in language too. My goodness, white people from Boston add & delete Rs like crazy (Cubar instead of Cuba, caâ instead of car). ð

The story has a nice flow, and a wonderful dynamic between the little boy and his nana, that kept my 2 and 4yr old kids asking to hear it read over and over. The vivid imagery and the way the pictures sometimes speak for themselves made it a fun read for all of us, and stimulated some great questions from the little ones, and some fun conversations over the book. I find that CJ’s nana is such a positive, spunky character that you can’t help but admire her and her way of ‘seeing beautiful’ where you might not think to look.
