The Manhattan Sentence correction guide says

"Does everyone have their book?" is wrong -----> I agree

Then it says

"Does everyone [b]have [/b]his or her book? is correct -------> I am sorry but I am not able to understand.

I know that everyone is singular the Sentence correction guide also says so.
Then why we are not saying

"Does everyone [b]has[/b] his or her book?

Can anybody please help?

This is a simple structure.

Does he have a car? Correct.
Does he work? Correct.
Does he do the work? Correct.

Here, the structure is as follows:

Does + he/she/it/third person singular+ verb in the base form + Object +?

I think, you got it.
