This is known as a Pilot Log book. Similar to the tracking sheet given to students during Drivers Education, pilots use these books to keep track of their flying.

Above is a page from Ermel's Pilot Log book. Everyday, he keeps track of the hours he has flown and the landings he has finished.

This plaque was given to Ermel as a memento of his first solo flight. His first flight was on his grandfather's 1946 Aeronca Model 7 Champion airplane.
