Why are UK and US titles different for the same book?

Re the Herriot books - the first six books as originally published in the UK are *If Only They Could Talk, It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet, Let Sleeping Vets Lie, Vet in Harness, Vets Might Fly, * and Vet in a Spin. Because these are quite slim volumes, for the US (and also available in the UK) they were repackaged into three volumes: All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful and All Things Wise and Wonderful. The seventh published book is more substantial, and stands alone as The Lord God Made Them All.

The US titles were chosen by “Herriot’s” daughter “Rosie” (in quotes because those are not their real names).

His ie Alf Wight’s daughter really is called Rosie.
