Introduction: "Let The Biter Beware" is a cute poem about what you may find when you bite into a piece of chocolate. It would be neat to have a box of candy for your students to try after reading this poem. (make sure you are aware of any chocolate, nut, or other allergies that may prevent a student from participating prior to offering. Maybe you could bring in a special treat for that child.) *Let The Biter Beware.* In the center of each pale milk c h o c o l a t e lump there is a hard nut waiting to bump your front tooth into the d e n t i s t's chair. In the center of each dark deep c h o c o l a t e hunk there is a car a mel chunk just waiting to glue your teeth to geth er for ev er. Take care. by Arnold Adoff from "Chocolate Dreams" Poems by Arnold Adoff Illustrated by Turi MacCombie (Lathrop, Lee & Shepard Books, 1989) Extension: After reading this poem and sharing a box of chocolates with your class, you could ask the students what was inside their chocolates and create a class graph.
