RE: [ha-Safran]: Aleph-bet book
Talya, Could you be thinking of the Aleph-Bet Story Book by Deborah Pessin, published by JPS. The stories are not about how each letter got its name, but there's a story for each letter that relates to its name. The first one is about creation. As the book progresses through the aleph-bet, the stories go through the Tanakh and later Midrash. Even if it's not the book you're looking for, you'll like it.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Aleph-bet book
I believe the book you are looking for is The Aleph-Bet Storybook, long out of print, but still wonderful stories. It's a 1946 copyright. The author is Deborah Pessin.

I think it was published by JPS. I think the cover of the one we had was reddish-brown (or brownish-red?).
