There's not really a "point" to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, although I have read an annotated copy with some interesting facts about it: apparently the story was partly inspired by Lewis Carroll's hatred of modern algebra, which was new at the time. Most of the stuff about Alice changing size was him poking fun at how ridiculous the idea of things like imaginary numbers, multiplying negative numbers, etc.

This is so funny to hear! I could totally see that with all these maths references throughout the book.
