What is Adobe Reader and why do I need it?

Adobe Reader is software that allows you to download and read PDF files. PDF stands for Portable Document Format and is one of the most universally used methods for downloading documents from the Web. Because of this, we have chosen to use this format for all of our coloring pictures, mazes and other downloadable content. The software is easy to use and simple to download. Simply click the link below to install this powerful tool on your home computer.
