January Book Tracker & Recommendations

It's never too late to start. It's January friends. The month of new things and you may be thinking that you are already almost one week in and it is too late to start anything new, but it isn't. Every morning is a new day to make a fresh start.

​In my January post I have another freeebie printable for you and some book recommendations. It's the cold months here in the north and we are going to be learning about the polar regions in our unit studies for homeschool, so can you guess what books I'll be recommending? Ha ha! You probably got it right. Let's take a look.

Please, note that I am a consultant for Usbourne and an Amazon affiliate. If you click on these links and make a purchase it is most likely that I will get a small paycheck from your purchase.

I want to break my recommendations up in to two categories. My Usbourne recommendations and my Amazon recommendations. Note, you do not have to purchase from Amazon or from me as an Usbourne consultant, but it is greatly appreciated. This month, I am just going to list my recommendations and not list why we love it, but let me know in the comments if you prefer a small synopsis and why we love this book.

2. Just A Snowman by Mercer Mayer

You can grab a free printable book tracker for the month of January here. You can use it anyway you choose. I typically set a goal for each day that I want to reach. For instance, this month I want to read five books or chapters with Joe each day. If we reach that goal, then we color in the snowman.
