Last Stop on Market Street


De la Pena, M.  (2015).  Last stop on market street.  NY: Penguin.

Summary: Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the bus across town. Along the way, they encounter people who are from different backgrounds, religions, and socioeconomic status. CJ questions his grandmother on why he doesn’t have certain things that others do. She always has the perfect response for him.

Review: The illustrations are the best part of the book. You can easily find yourself just looking through each picture and even imagining that you are there.  This book can be used to teach a variety of things like kindness, appreciation, and diversity. Elementary students will love it.
