See the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Restore a built-in app that you deleted

  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app.
  3. Tap the Redownload button.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home Screen.



Also note that the current name is "Apple Books" rather than "iBooks."
