Every day after school, Jonathan hangs out at the zoo in Anchorage, Alaska where his dad is a keeper. His favorite animal is a downy white goose named "Mama Goose". Jonathan feeds her popcorn, and she climbs into his lap. Meanwhile, a young brown bear whose mother has sent him off on his own wanders into Jonathan's yard searching for food. Jonathan becomes fond of the bear until it breaks into the zoo and accidentally kills Mama Goose. Jonathan wrestles with feelings of anger and revenge while he tries to understand that the bear named Trouble was just doing what any bear would have done.
