Shortcode to show all files attached to post as list [showfiles]

Here’s the code:

// [showfiles]
function dump_files($atts) {
        extract(shortcode_atts(array(), $atts));
        global $post;
        $return = '';
        $children = get_children( 'numberposts=-1&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_type=attachment&post_parent='.$post->ID );
        if ($children) :
        $return .= '<ul>';
        foreach ($children as $child) {
        $return .= '<li>
            <a href="'.$child->guid.'">'.$child->post_title.'</a>';
            if ($child->post_content):
                $return .='<br>'.$child->post_content;
            endif;
            $return .='</li>';
            } // endfor
        $return .='</ul>';
        endif;
        return $return;
}
add_shortcode("showfiles", "dump_files");
// end shortcode
