Miriam Mouse's family always celebrates Passover Belowstairs, while the human Winklers celebrate Abovestairs. But this year Miriam is finding it hard to get a piece of matzah to use for the Mouse family afikomen as the human family has decided to store their matzah in a tin. All seems lost for the Mouse family seder, until young Eli Winkler shares the afikomen with her.

"Two loving Jewish families live at the Winkler house: "Abovestairs" are the Winklers themselves; 'Belowstairs'--under the floorboards--is the Mouse family. All the inhabitants are anticipating Passover, but the Mouse family's preparations are in crisis: the Winklers have put their matzah in a new, impenetrable tin ('Nobody could chew through that, ' says Grandpa Mouse), and how can the Mouses have their Seder if they can't forage for matzah? Leave it to the youngest, smallest members of each family--Eli Winkler and Miriam Mouse--to solve the problem: they turn the ancient ritual of finding the afikoman into an opportunity to restock the Mouses' matzah supply. Meyer's breezy, brief text lifts the story, and Engell's wide-eyed, anxious mice should resonate with readers experiencing their own family's holiday-related shpilkes." --Publishers Weekly
