The difference in canon derives from the difference in Masoretic Text ( Jewish canon ) and the Septuagint manuscripts ( Greek translations of scriptures ).

Books found in both Hebrew and the Greek are accepted by all denominations, and by the Jews.  They are the protocanon books. 

Catholics and Orthodox also accept those books present in the manuscripts of the Septuagint.  Those books are called deuterocanon ( means “second canon” ) by Catholics, considered apocrypha ( means “hidden things” ) by Protestants, and anagignoskomena ( means “worthy of reading” ) by Orthodox.
