our assignment for homework was to take a nursery rhyme and make it a different point of view. in order to do that we were allowed to add in phrases to the rhyme any place we thought would sound good.
so i took Little Miss Muffet and tried to make it limited omniscient. would the part "Little miss muffet was feeling hungry" be considered omniscient?
Little Miss Muffet was feeling hungry so she sat on a tuffet
and she began eating her curds and whey.
As she thought, "How delicious!",
there came a big spider,
who sat down beside her.
And frightened Miss Muffet away who thought, "How scary!"
(it doesn't have to rhyme)

In your version of Little Miss Muffet, you have added the phrase "Little Miss Muffet was feeling hungry" to indicate her state of hunger. While this sentence does provide information about Little Miss Muffet's feelings, it doesn't necessarily make the perspective limited omniscient.
Limited omniscient point of view means that the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of only one character in the story, while remaining limited in knowledge about other characters. To make your version limited omniscient, you could add more insights into the thoughts and emotions of other characters involved.
For example:
Little Miss Muffet was feeling hungry, so she sat on a tuffet and began eating her curds and whey. As she thought, "How delicious!", there came a big spider, who sat down beside her. The spider, oblivious to Little Miss Muffet's fear, mused about catching a tasty meal. And frightened Miss Muffet away, who thought, "How scary!", wondering if she would ever enjoy her snack in peace.
Here, by adding the spider's thoughts, you provide additional perspective from its point of view, making your version fall into the category of limited omniscient.
