But today, CJ’s not happy about it. Today, he’s wondering out loud why they have to wait in the rain and why they don’t have a car like his other friends. But it’s Nana who opens young CJ’s eyes and shows him the real beauty in the world around them—the spirit of the bustling city, the music in everyday life, and the magic of their often overlooked neighbors. From award-winning talents Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson comes a brilliant celebration of the love between a grandmother and her grandson. Review: 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. Review: Wonderful book for Children - Great read and lots of great lessons for children and wonderful illustrations. Very well written. I highly recommend this book. ## Features - This energetic ride through a bustling city highlights the wonderful perspective only grandparent and grandchild can share ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,496 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Children's Books on Homelessness & Poverty #5 in Children's Black & African American Story Books #9 in Children's City Life Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,908 Reviews | ## Images ![Last Stop on Market Street - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D8wpsSM5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story and illustrations! *by F***0 on June 20, 2024* I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my toddler nephew and it became his favorite new book of the year!

Very well written. I highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book for urban families *by G***M on January 8, 2016* 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)! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/11062245-last-stop-on-market-street](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/11062245-last-stop-on-market-street) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
